“…Other countries reporting outbreaks were Austria (n=1) (62), Belgium (n=1) (17), Croatia (n=2) (53), England (n=2) (38, 66), France (n=3) (26, 27, 30), Ireland (n=2) (41, 49), Norway (n=2) (39, 57), Poland (n=3) (35) and Switzerland (n=3) (31). Some clustering of diseases by country was observed, for example, rubella outbreaks involving migrants between 2000 and 2020 were only reported in Spain (61, 64, 65).…”

“…Mumps outbreaks were reported in three studies (295 cases), including two distinct outbreaks (39, 63) and one report that presented all outbreak-related cases in asylum seekers in Germany from 2004 to 2014 (24). One outbreak in Spain across 17 municipalities of Almeria (63) caused 145 infections, of which a small number (4 cases) were migrants.…”

“…One outbreak in Spain across 17 municipalities of Almeria (63) caused 145 infections, of which a small number (4 cases) were migrants. Another outbreak in Norway was reported as having a foreign student as the index case and went on to infect 148 individuals, resulting in seven hospitalisations and one case of meningitis (39).…”

BackgroundMigrant populations (defined as foreign-born) are one of several under-immunised groups in the EU/EEA, yet little is known about how they are affected by outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs). This information is vital to develop targeted strategies to improve the health of diverse migrant communities and to assess risk factors and correlations with major European peaks in incidence of key VPDs over time.MethodsWe did a systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42019157473; Medline, EMBASE, and Global Health January 2000 to October 2019) adhering to PRISMA guidelines, to identify studies on VPD outbreaks (measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, pertussis, polio, hepatitis A, N meningitidis, and H influenzae) in migrants residing in the EU/EEA and Switzerland.Results45 studies were included, reporting on 47 distinct VPD outbreaks across 13 countries (26 [55%] were reported between 2010 and 2020, including 16 [34%] since 2015). Most reported outbreaks involving migrants were of measles (n=24; 6578 total cases), followed by varicella (n=11; 596 cases), hepatitis A (n=7; 1510 cases), rubella (n=3; 487 cases) and mumps (n=2; 295 cases). 19 (40%) of outbreaks, predominantly varicella and measles, were reported in temporary camps or shelters for asylum seekers and refugees. Of 11 varicella outbreaks, 82% were associated with adult migrants. Half of measles outbreaks (n=12) were associated with migrants from Eastern European countries, often involving migrants of Roma ethnicity.ConclusionsMigrants represent one of several under-immunised groups involved in VPD outbreaks in Europe, with adult and child refugees and asylum seekers residing in shelters or temporary camps at particular risk, alongside specific nationality groups. Vulnerability varies by disease, setting, and individual demographics, highlighting the importance of tailoring strategies for implementing catch-up vaccination to specific groups, alongside the strengthening of routine data collection, in order to meet regional and global vaccination targets. Better understanding vaccine uptake and demand issues in migrant groups, and reducing the barriers they face to accessing vaccination services, is urgently needed, with direct implications for COVID-19 vaccine delivery at the current time. Strengthening vaccine delivery to migrant populations will require a greater focus on co-designing vaccine uptake strategies in close collaboration with affected communities.FunderNIHR

“…72 Since the mid-2000s, mumps outbreaks have also been reported among populations with high 2-dose MMR coverage in other countries, including United Kingdom, 73 Ireland, 74 New Zealand, 75 Canada, 76 Netherlands, 77 Spain, 78 and Norway. 79 Despite these outbreaks, mumps incidence is still much higher in countries that do not have routine mumps vaccination.…”

Mumps is a viral infection endemic in North America despite widespread vaccination. Typical symptoms include parotitis, fever, and myalgias; however, absence of parotitis and asymptomatic infection is common. Complications are rare, occurring in 10% or fewer of patients, and have only rarely been described since widespread adoption of the mumps vaccine. Most complications occur in non-vaccinated individuals. Myocarditis is a very rare, but clinically significant, complication of acute mumps infection. We report a case of acute myocarditis with a serological diagnosis of acute mumps infection in a previously healthy, vaccinated 24-year-old female.
