Elimination of measles using vaccination is one of the most important task worldwide. Iran is in the elimination phase of measles and health professionals base surveillance system on reporting of suspected cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate measles surveillance in center of Iran. The epidemiological data was collected from immediate telephone reports and follow up results in CDC of deputy of health in Isfahan medical sciences university. 59 suspected cases were reported and only measles in one 2 years Afghanian girl had been confirmed. The incidence rate of suspected cases was 18 per one million under risk population. The average age of cases was 8±8.3 years that varied from 1 to 34 years. Male was more than female and 13.6% of cases were immigrant. One third of patients did not have any previous vaccination. The mean age was different significantly in three years of assessment. Our finding demonstrated that the measles surveillance is effective in Iran and endemic measles have been eliminated in Iran. The measles cases are immigrant from neighbor countries.

There are limited data on the impact of measles outbreak immunization activities from developing countries. The available data do not support a change in the WHO recommended strategy for conducting a limited, if any, immunization response to such outbreaks. Immunization strategies which aim to prevent outbreaks may be more effective than campaigns to interrupt transmission of an outbreak which has already begun.

Pandémie de rougeole, 1988-1992

Au tournant des années 1990, la rougeole a balayé le monde. Évitable par la vaccination depuis 1963, la « première maladie » est pourtant une des grandes absentes d’un siècle pandémique qui tarde à s’achever, si ce n’est pour en faire l’incarnation d’un anti-vaccinationisme rampant. Au travers d’une chronique de la « crise » de 1988-1992, nous reviendrons sur le processus de coproduction entre l’infection et les technologies qui en protègent. Nous aborderons plus particulièrement la dimension sociale de l’infection virale pour comprendre pourquoi la vaccination de masse, au coeur d’une entreprise d’éradication appuyée, ne suffit pas à éviter la rougeole et participe même à accroître certaines inégalités en santé qui influent sur son épidémiologie. L’expérience de la COVID‑19 nous exhorte à mener ce genre de travail rétrospectif et à mobiliser l’Histoire en discipline de santé publique pour mieux saisir la place de la vaccination dans le passé et le présent viraux et contagieux. Documentation de l’OMS, littérature scientifique et terrain ethnographique forceront ensemble une approche « à parts égales » des espaces et des acteurs concernés, faisant dialoguer les expériences très locales et les politiques internationales pour révéler les écueils d’une santé (publique) globale ultra-technologisée et très verticale.
