Summary

Poland

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Vaccinology

Background:

  • Poland's commitment to measles elimination, coordinated by the World Health Organization (WHO), requires 95% vaccination coverage and robust surveillance.
  • Effective measles elimination necessitates monitoring the epidemiological situation, reporting suspected cases, and laboratory diagnostics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the 2016 measles epidemiological situation in Poland.
  • To assess measles vaccination coverage and the progress of the national measles elimination program.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of case-based questionnaires for suspected measles cases reported to the National Institute of Public Health – National Institute of Hygiene (NIPH-NIH).
  • Utilized data from "Infectious diseases and poisonings in Poland in 2016" and "Vaccinations in Poland in 2016" publications.

Main Results:

  • In 2016, Poland reported 133 measles cases (0.35 per 100,000 population), with the highest incidence in the 0-4 age group (4.2 per 100,000).
  • Hospitalization was required for 69.9% of cases; no fatal measles cases were reported.
  • High vaccination coverage was maintained: primary vaccination ranged from 77.4% to 99.4%, and booster vaccination from 74.9% to 97.2%.

Conclusions:

  • The measles epidemiological situation in Poland deteriorated in 2016 compared to 2015, despite sustained satisfactory vaccination coverage.
  • Enhancing the measles surveillance system requires promoting the elimination program among physicians, emphasizing mandatory reporting and laboratory confirmation of all suspected and confirmed measles cases.
