Abstract:
Objective To investigate measles antibody levels in healthy people in Jinshan District and their willingness to inoculate measles containing vaccines, and to explore the feasibility of supplementary immunization with adult measles vaccine. Methods People from 4 randomly selected community health service centers were enrolled and divided into groups of 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, and 40 years old and above. Serum was collected for measles antibody level detection and analysis according to the city and foreign household registration. In addition, a questionnaire survey on measles knowledge and vaccination willingness was conducted. Results Of the 234 participants for serum testing, the overall positive rate of measles antibodies (IgG) was 85.47%, and the protection rate was 35.47%. The difference in the positive rate of antibodies in different age groups was statistically significant (χ2=9.78, P=0.02), and the difference in the protection rate was also statistically significant (χ2=14.97, P<0.0012). The positive rate and protection rate were lowest in the group of 20-29 years old, which were 74.19% and 24.19%, respectively. A total of 490 questionnaires were sent out, and 477 questionnaires were effectively returned. Among the 5 questions about measles knowledge, the lowest correct rate was for the transmission route of measles, which was only 48.64%. The willingness to measles vaccination was 85.12%. Multivariate analysis showed that the willingness to vaccination was related to the level of awareness and health education. Conclusion The level of protective antibodies against measles was low in adults in Jinshan District. Health education on measles was insufficient. It is necessary to conduct measles health publicity in institutions with more concentrated personnel. In addition, appropriate measles serological monitoring and supplementary immunization should be carried out for key populations to increase the level of measles antibodies.
