Abstract:
Objective To analyze the epidemic status and characteristics of mumps in Shushan area, and to provide scientific reference for formulating prevention and control strategies. Methods The data of mumps cases in Shushan District from 2015 to 2020 were retrieved from China Disease Control and Prevention Information Management System. The data of vaccination rate were obtained from the Anhui Province Immunization Program Information Management System. The data were analyzed by descriptive epidemiological methods. Results A total of 799 cases of mumps were reported in Shushan District. The average annual incidence was 21.58/100 000, and the incidence was increasing year by year. Cases were reported in every month, with 20.90% cases reported from April to May. The number of males and females were 513 and 286 respectively, and the incidence rate of males (27.55/10) was higher than that of females (15.51/100,000). The youngest patient was 2 months old and the oldest was 84 years old. The age distribution was mainly under 10 years old, with a total of 573 cases (71.71%). The incidence rate decreased with age. The occupational distribution was mainly primary and secondary school students and kindergarten children, accounting for 371 cases (46.43%) and 262 cases (32.79%), respectively. Cases were reported in 11 towns (streets) in Shushan District, mainly in Wulidun Street, Jinggang Town and Bijiashan Street, accounting for 23.53% (188 cases), 17.52% (140 cases), and 13.64% (109 cases), respectively. More than 97 percent of eligible children born between 2015 and 2019 received mumps vaccines. Conclusion Students and kindergarten children are the main prevention and control groups for mumps. Epidemic surveillance and health education should be effectively carried out. At the same time, children who miss mumps vaccine should be vaccinated with mumps vaccine to strengthen immunity and prevent the onset of mumps.
