Summary

Mandatory mumps vaccination in Poland has significantly reduced cases since 2003. High vaccination coverage is expected to further decrease mumps incidence, despite it remaining common in children.

Area of Science:

Epidemiology
Public Health
Immunology

Background:

Mumps vaccination became mandatory in Poland in 2003, utilizing a two-dose MMR vaccine schedule.
Despite a decade-long decline in incidence due to vaccinations, mumps remains prevalent among children.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the epidemiological status of mumps in Poland during 2016.
To assess mumps vaccination coverage within the Polish population in 2016 and compare it with previous years.

Main Methods:

Descriptive analysis of mumps cases and vaccination data.
Utilized data from Poland's mandatory surveillance system and annual bulletins on infectious diseases and vaccinations for 2016.

Main Results:

Poland registered 1,978 mumps cases in 2016, with an incidence of 5.1 per 100,000 population, a decrease from 2015.

Keywords:

The highest incidence was observed in 5-year-old children (46.9 per 100,000); vaccination coverage for 3-year-olds was 96.0% in 2016.

Conclusions:

Consistent implementation of the National Immunisation Programme has led to a substantial reduction in registered mumps cases.
High vaccination coverage is anticipated to result in a continued decrease in mumps incidence.
