Turkey Should Shore Up Coverage Of Young People.(vaccination policy should mandate measles vaccine dosage)
2001 SEP 19 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) --
by N.R. Saltmarsh, staff medical writer - Vaccination policy in Turkey should be changed to play catch-up in children and young adults who are currently at risk for measles, and should mandate a two-dose regimen for young children.
Because measles outbreaks still occur every two to three years in Turkey, A. Egemen and colleagues at Ege University, Izmir, sought to determine the seroprevalence of measles antibodies in the population and thus the need for vaccine coverage.
They screened 595 study subjects one to 29 years old for antibodies and recorded sociodemographic characteristics, vaccination status, and measles history. Microenzyme immune assay was used to measure measles-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in the subjects, who were from the Izmir area.
Fifty-six of the participants (9.4%) were seronegative for measles IgG, reported Egemen and coworkers. The proportion of the susceptible individuals in the age groups of 1-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-19, and 20-29 was 20%, 10.4%, 6%, 10.3%, and 3%, respectively.
Logistic regression analysis showed that of all the sociodemographic variables, only age group was significantly associated with measles seronegativity ("Measles seroprevalence in Izmir with special emphasis on measles vaccination policy for Turkey," Pediatrics International, August 2001;43(4):379-384).
"The optimal measles vaccination policy for Turkey may ...
