Methods The epidemiological characteristics of measles in the floating population in Dax-ing District were analyzed based on the data collected from Diseases Reporting Information System and Ques-tionnaires for measles cases. Results A total of 1 263 measles cases were reported in the floating population in Daxing District from 2002 to 2015, accounting for 73. 09% of all reported cases in that area. Among the 1 263 measles cases, 1 027 cases (81. 31%) were reported from March to June. The top 5 towns with high incidence of measles were Huangcun, Jiugong, Xihongmen, Yizhuang and Yinghai, from which 80. 29% of measles cases were reported. Age distribution of the measles cases showed that 145 cases were children younger than 8 months, 412 cases were children aged 8 months to 14 years old and the rest 706 cases were a-bove 14 years old. And of all cases, only 224 cases had measles vaccine immunization history.
