背景:为了配合全球抗击麻疹的努力,瑞士联邦公共卫生办公室(FOPH)启动了2011-2015年消除麻疹国家战略。在这项研究中,我们根据苏黎世大学旅行诊所的数据强调了旅行医学咨询对麻疹疫苗接种计划的补充的重要性。方法:我们分析了苏黎世旅行诊所2010年7月至2016年2月的麻疹疫苗接种数据,重点关注三组:(I)所有接种过麻疹疫苗的客户,(Ii)所有接种过麻疹疫苗的两岁客户(“补种”),以及(Iii)所有两岁及1963年后出生的客户(“FOPH推荐的补种疫苗”)。其中12470人(11.6%)接种了麻疹疫苗;90.9%的麻疹疫苗接种是在旅行前咨询期间进行的,99.4%的接种对象是两岁以下的人(“补种疫苗”)。在苏黎世旅游诊所所有2岁及1963年以后出生的客户中,13.6%的人接受了“FOPH推荐的补种疫苗接种”。结论:在本研究中,我们强调了旅行医学咨询对提高瑞士成年人口麻疹疫苗接种覆盖率的重要性。(C)2017爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Background: In line with the worldwide strive to combat measles, the Swiss Federal Office of Public Heath (FOPH) launched a National Strategy for measles elimination 2011-2015. In this study, we highlight the importance of travel medicine consultations to complement measles vaccination programmes based on data from the Travel Clinic of the University of Zurich.Method: We analysed measles vaccination data from the Zurich Travel Clinic between July 2010 and February 2016 and focused on three groups: (i) all clients who received the measles vaccination, (ii) all clients aged > two years who received the measles vaccination ("catch-up vaccination"), and (iii) all clients aged > two years and born after 1963 ("FOPH recommended catch-up vaccination").Results: 107,669 consultations were performed from 2010 to 2016. In 12,470 (11.6%) of these, a measles vaccination was administered; 90.9% measles vaccinations were given during a pre-travel consultation, and 99.4% were administered to individuals aged > two years ("catch-up vaccinations"). An "FOPH recommended catch-up vaccination" was received by 13.6% of all Zurich Travel Clinic clients aged >2 years and born after 1963.Conclusions: In this study, we highlight the importance of travel medicine consultations to enhance the measles vaccination coverage in the adult Swiss population.
