Nanning measles cases increased 8 months to 59 years old are free vaccination residents

2014年06月10日06:39

Guangxi News Network - Nanning, southern China Morning Post (Reporter Zhang Ruo Fan) June 9, the reporter learned from the Nanning CDC, the recent increase in measles cases, and more for adults, for the control of epidemic development, the emergence of cases of epidemic, disease control department will arrange an emergency measles vaccination surrounding residents, 8 months to 59 years of age residents are free vaccination.

Outbreak residents free vaccination

The evening of June 8, Ms. Fairview southern district of Chiang see the district posted a notice, saying the district confirmed case of measles cases, according to the Nanning CDC arrangements, June 9 to 12, community health centers will set up a temporary vaccination points in the district, residents free measles vaccination. Did not think of himself small to large measles, 9 am, Ms. Jiang to vaccination points vaccinated.

Nanning CDC immunization program chief of the iron beams, this year than in previous years Nanning severe measles epidemic, has accumulated more than 500 cases of reported cases, the number of times for the same period last year. In order to control the epidemic development occurs in the area of ​​confirmed cases of measles, epidemic disease control departments will be designated in accordance with the scope of the emergency vaccination of free vaccination within a specific range of 8 months to 59 year-old resident, voluntary principle.

After the epidemic appears, will organize appropriate community health services emergency vaccination. Beams iron proposals eligible for free vaccination conditions, no measles, or have not been vaccinated against measles residents should be given their own health, "the last of insurance."

Rash five days try to self-isolation

Iron beams introduced Measles is spread through the respiratory tract disease, the patient is best treated in isolation. Measles patients 5 days after the rash is not contagious, so the rash of five days, the patient is best not to go out, but do not touch the low resistance of children.
Measles symptoms mainly fever, body red rash, conjunctival congestion, coughing, etc., there will be individual cases of more serious complications such as pneumonia. Even the adults, there may be severe symptoms, can not be taken lightly.

Nanning year increased incidence of measles, is affected by many factors, climatic, disease and other surrounding areas, while the increase in cases, infected people has also changed in the past the vast majority of cases of measles for children, but this year showed "two big "characteristics - in adults over 18 years old and 8 months following the baby based.

The incidence of vaccine may also be played

Hu citizens have a child vaccinated against measles, but still out of adult measles. He felt some wonder: how much vaccine protective effect in the end? Can lifelong immunity?

Iron beams introduced measles vaccine success rate of about 90%, that is, after vaccination, only about 90% of people can produce antibodies, but with age, some people antibody levels will be reduced. Therefore, even if vaccinated against measles, a small number of people may still be infected, and only suffered from measles by antibodies produced after natural infection to life-long immunity.
