Pages

  57-62

Abstract

 Introduction: MEASLES is a highly contagious disease that prior to vaccination caused several outbreaks every 3-5 years. Despite the use of MEASLES VACCINE in recent decades, epidemics of the disease has continued in developing countries. Consequently, the Ministry of Health in I.R.IRAN provided mass vaccination for everyone between 5- 25 years old in 2003. This study evaluated anti MEASLES IgG in military cadets.Materials & methods: This study was carried out one month after the mass vaccination of 865 military cadets, who had been given vaccination cards in Tehran in 2003.Demographic information comprised age, educational level, history of MEASLES vaccination and past history of MEASLES disease. Five mililiter Blood samples were taken from each individual, were assessed for anti MEASLES IgG by ELISA kits, Manufactured by Enzygnost Behring in Germany. Serum was examined by Cut-off OD and converted to IgG MIU/ml by specific kit formula.Results: In this study, all the subjects were male with a mean age of 19.16 years (SD=1.1) and 78.8% of them had a high school diploma. Anti MEASLES productivity was 97.8 % and 2.2% were vulnerable. More than 67.7% had been vaccinated before, 3.9% had close contact with MEASLES cases and 2.7% stated that they had a positive history of MEASLES.Conclusion: This study suggests that 98.6 % of the vaccinated subjects had a protective level of anti MEASLES antibody after mass vaccination and that this program could control the outbreaks. Therefore, we recommend that all soldiers to be vaccinated.
