Postvaccine era measles epidemiology.

C L Paule, J A Bean, L F Burmeister

    JAMA
    |April 6, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Measles incidence decreased in vaccinated preschoolers, but rose again for school-aged children. This suggests vaccine-induced immunity wanes, increasing measles risk in older children.

    Area of Science:

    • Epidemiology
    • Vaccinology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Measles was a significant public health concern prior to widespread vaccination.
    • Understanding measles epidemiology is crucial for evaluating vaccine effectiveness and public health strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the impact of the live measles virus vaccine on measles epidemiology in the United States.
    • To analyze measles incidence rates by birth cohort and age group from 1965 to 1975.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized data from the United States Immunization Survey (1965-1975).
    • Analyzed measles incidence by birth cohorts and cross-sectionally by age.
    • Calculated incidence rates based on susceptible populations.

    Main Results:

    • High measles infection rates were observed in 1-year-old children.
    • Infection rates decreased in preschool children, suggesting vaccine-induced herd immunity.
    • Rates increased again at ages 5-6 years, with the highest incidence in school-aged susceptible children.

    Conclusions:

    • The live measles virus vaccine demonstrated effectiveness in reducing incidence among preschool children.
    • A hypothesis of waning vaccine-induced herd immunity in preschool children was proposed.
    • School-aged children, particularly susceptible ones, represented a high-risk group for measles infection.
