“…In a recent study conducted at a university in Kansas during an outbreak in 2006, case patients were more likely than their roommates without mumps to have been last vaccinated with the second dose у10 years earlier [10]. In addition, studies conducted in the United Kingdom and Europe revealed lower vaccine effectiveness in older cohorts and an increased risk of developing mumps with increased time after vaccination [39,40,48].…”

Mumps Outbreaks in Vaccinated Populations: Are Available Mumps Vaccines Effective Enough to Prevent Outbreaks?

2008

Increased reports of mumps in vaccinated populations prompted a review of the performance of mumps vaccines. The effectiveness of prior vaccination with 1 dose of vaccine ranged from 72.8% to 91% for the Jeryl Lynn strain, from 54.4% to 93% for the Urabe strain, and from 0% to 33% for the Rubini strain. Vaccine effectiveness after 2 doses of mumps vaccine was reported in 3 outbreaks and ranged from 91% to 94.6%. There was evidence of waning immunity, which is a likely factor in mumps outbreaks, aggravated by possible antigenic differences between the vaccine strain and outbreak strains. Inadequate vaccine coverage or use of the Rubini vaccine strain accounted for the majority of outbreaks reviewed; however, some outbreaks could not be prevented, despite high vaccination coverage with 2 doses of the Jeryl Lynn vaccine strain. Our findings indicate the need for more-effective mumps vaccines and/or for review of current vaccination policies to prevent future outbreaks.

“…Mumps continues to be endemic in various regions of the world, and the number of outbreaks has recently increased (9,10). Controlling and eliminating rubella is important in public health because of the teratogenic effects that may occur when the infection is acquired during the first months of gestation.…”

About one-fifth (20.8%) of the schoolchildren who could have been vaccinated against measles at age 9 months had levels of antibodies insufficient for protection. In the sample of schoolchildren without previous vaccination against mumps and rubella, high proportions of susceptible levels were found. All vaccines were immunogenic, but vaccine A yielded a seroconversion rate of 99.5% for the mumps component, which was significantly higher than the other two vaccines (P<0.01).

The German Field Epidemiology Training Programme (FETP) and the European Programme for Intervention Epidemiology Training (EPIET) were founded to develop a network of epidemiologists for the surveillance and control of communicable diseases. During their 2-year training, FETP or EPIET fellows are based at the Robert Koch-Institut or other European host institutes and have to conduct outbreak investigations, carry out surveillance and research projects and publish the results. Since 1995, all 22 FETP and 94 EPIET fellows have conducted and published numerous outbreak investigations, surveillance and research projects, for example on pathogens inducing salmonellosis, influenza, SARS or avian influenza. Currently, 70% of FETP and EPIET alumni are working in key positions in communicable disease control on a regional, national or international level. The German FETP and the European EPIET programme offer high quality practical training in applied epidemiology. The expert knowledge of the alumni of both training programmes will be incorporated into the new European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC) and determine the future direction of infectious disease epidemiology in Germany and Europe.
