Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of measles in Jinshan District of Shanghai from 2004 to 2015 in order to provide guidelines for measles control. Methods A descriptive epidemiological analysis was conducted on measles cases reported in Jinshan District during 2004 to 2015. Epidemiological data of those cases were collected from surveillance system of infectious disease, Measles Surveillance System ( MSS) and case study records. Results A total of 225 confirmed measles cases were analyzed in this study with an annual incidence of 2. 66/100 000. The highest incidence was 11. 27/100 000 in 2005 and the lowest incidence was 0. 14/100 000 in 2011, taking on a descending trend (Z=-6. 689, P<0. 000 1). The number of cases from March to May accounted for 65. 33%. The incidence of measles in floating population (4. 00/100 000) was higher than that in resident population (2. 18/100 000) (χ2=20. 467, P<0. 000 1). The measles cases mainly concentrated in age groups of ≥20 years and <5 years. Workers, scattered children, domestic workers, farmers and fishermen had high incidences of measles. Mea-sles vaccine immunization history was clear in nine cases. Conclusion The incidence of measles in Jinshan District shows a general trend of decline in this decade with time and population clusters in occurrence, sug-gesting that the occurrence of measles in Jinshan is under control. It is necessary to strengthen measles sur-veillance, regular immunization among children and supplementary immunization among adults, especially in floating population, in order to maintain high levels of immune protection.

Objective To detect the levels of anti-measles antibody in a healthy population in Jin-shan District of Shanghai and to provide references for making a better immunization strategy against measles in this area. Methods Stratified sampling was used to collect 390 serum sample in 12 age groups with an equal number of males and females as well as resident and floating population. Indirect enzyme-linked immu-nosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to detect the concentrations of IgG antibody against measles in dif-ferent groups. Results The overall positive rate and protective rate of anti-measles antibody were 78.21% and 41.28%, respectively. No significant difference in the positive rates of antibody was found between males and females, or resident and floating population (P>0.05). Antibody levels varied significantly among different age groups(χ2=191.214,P<0.01). More than 80.00% of the people aged≥1 year were positive for anti-measles antibody and the positive rates in children 3 to 6 years old and people aged ≥40 years reached 100% and over 90.00%,respectively. Infants under 8 months of age,having the lowest posi-tive rate of antibody(10.00%),were susceptible to measles. The highest protective rate was found in chil-dren aged 8 months to 9 years,followed by that in people≥40 years. Levels of anti-measles antibody in peo-ple aged 10 to 39 years mainly ranged from 200 mIU/ml to 800 mIU/ml. No significant difference in anti-body levels was found among people aged≥8 months who had different immunization histories(χ2=1.140,P>0.05). Conclusion The average level of anti-measles antibody was high in Jinshan District in 2015,in-dicating that the people in that area had a relatively high immunity to measles,but the positive rate of anti-body needed to be further improved. Infants under 8 months old and people 10 to 39 years old were the main susceptible groups. It is suggested that measles vaccination efforts should be focused on susceptible popula-tion and women of childbearing age to improve herd immunity.

Objective To evaluate the vaccination of live attenuated varicella vaccine ((VarV) in Jinshan District of Shanghai. Methods Descriptive and analytical epidemiological analysis was carried out using the information of VarV immunization of children born between November 1, 2006 and October 31, 2018 (1-12 years) in the Jinshan District Immunization Program Information System. Results There were 82 584 registered children aged 1-12 years in Jinshan District, and the vaccination rate of VarV at the first dose (VarV1) was 90.95%. The vaccination rate of children in this city was higher than that of migrant children, and the annual vaccination rate of children born in different years was between 59.81% and 99.93%. The vaccination rates in northern, central and southern Jinshan District were 89.25%, 93.27% and 91.39%, respectively. Among the 82 584 registered children, the second dose of VarV (VarV2) vaccination rate was 49.01%. The vaccination rate of children in this city was higher than that of migrant children, and the annual vaccination rate of children born in different years was between 25.94% and 77.14%. The vaccination rates in northern, central and southern Jinshan District were 28.72%, 45.88% and 66.30%, respectively. Conclusion The VarV1 vaccination rate of children aged 1-12 in Jinshan District was higher, but the VarV2 vaccination rate was relatively low. It is necessary to further strengthen publicity in key areas to improve the level of VarV2 vaccination.

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.

ObjectiveTo determine the antibody levels of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) in healthy individuals aged 1 to 30 years in Songjiang District of Shanghai, and to provide evidence for further development of varicella immunization strategies for healthy population. MethodsSix village committees were selected in Songjiang District through multi-stage stratified random sampling method from July to September 2022. Healthy individuals aged 1 to 30 years old in these villages were recruited and 3‒5 mL of venous blood was collected. Anti-VZV IgG antibody was tested by ELISA. Positive rate of anti-VZV IgG antibody and geometric mean concentration (GMC) were determined. ResultsA total of 315 healthy individuals aged (10.97±8.38) years were included in this study, of which 165 were males aged (11.00±8.52) years and 150 were females aged (10.96±8.25) years. Blood samples were collected and tested for anti-VZV IgG antibody, with the overall positive rate of 55.24% (174/315). The GMC was calculated to be 99.73 mIU·mL-1, with the GMC in those tested positive for anti-VZV IgG antibody of 413.11 mIU·mL-1. The positive rate of anti-VZV IgG antibody and GMCs across age groups ranged between 13.33%‒86.67% and 16.36‒355.14 mIU·mL-1, respectively. The highest GMC was found in the group of 20‒30 years old (355.14 mIU·mL-1), followed by 132.41 mIU·mL-1 in the group of 5‒ years old and 138.12 mIU·mL-1 in the group of 15‒ years old. Moreover, the positive rate was 38.47% in the group with 1-dose varicella vaccine and 63.49% in the group with 2 doses, while the GMC were 53.28 mIU·mL-1 and 130.79 mIU·mL-1 in these two groups, respectively. Multivariable analysis revealed that occupation was a risk factor associated with anti-VZV IgG antibody (OR=2.540). Stratified analysis by varicella immunization history showed that among 2-dose vaccination group, time interval since the last dose was a protective factor (OR=0.315). ConclusionsThe overall positive rate of anti-VZV IgG antibody in healthy population in Songjiang District of Shanghai remains low. The 2-dose varicella vaccination should be strengthened to improve the coverage in susceptible population.
