ABSTRACT

@#Objective To analyze the safety of children of different ages vaccinated with measles,mumps and rubella combined attenuated live vaccine(MMR in brief)/measles and rubella combined attenuated live vaccine(MR in brief)in Jilin Province from 2015 to 2022.Methods The actual vaccination data of MMR and MR from January 1,2015 to December 31,2022 were collected through the Jilin information management system for immunization programming,and all AEFI case information reported after vaccination with MMR and MR in this period was collected through the national adverse event following immunization(AEFI) monitoring and reporting system.The incidence rates of AEFI reports were compared among8-month-old children vaccinated with the first dose of MMR(MMR 8 group) and MR(MR8 group),18-month-old children vaccinated with the first dose of MMR(vaccinated with MR at 8 months old,MMR18-1 group) and the second dose of MMR(vaccinated with the first dose of MMR at 8 months old,MMR18-2 group) to preliminarily evaluate the safety of children vaccinated with MMR and MR at different ages.Results The reported incidence of AEFI in MMR8,MR8,MMR18-1 and MMR18-2 groups were 374.41/100 000,350.81/100 000,101.70/100 000 and 104.91/100 000,respectively,with significant difference among the four groups(χ~2=1 145.47,P=0.00);There was no significant difference between MMR8 and MR8,as well as MMR18-1 and MMR18-2 groups(χ~2=3.780 and 0.194,respectively,each P> 0.05);There were significant differences between MMR8 and MMR18-1,MMR8 and MMR18-2,as well as MR8 and MMR18-1groups(χ~2=920.440,412.110 and 1 021.120,respectively,each P=0.00).Most of the adverse reactions were general reactions,mainly fever,local redness and induration;A few were abnormal reactions,which were mainly allergic reactions(rash,papules,urticaria,etc.).Only one case of coincidence was reported in MMR8 group,and no psychogenic reaction,vaccine quality accident and vaccination accident occurred.All AEFI turned out to be improved or cured.Conclusion The differences of AEFI reported incidence of 8-month-old children vaccinated with MMR and MR were all small,and the difference of AEFI reported incidence of 18-month-old children vaccinated with the second dose of MMR was small regardless of the initial vaccination with MMR or MR.It is safe to use MMR instead of MR for the first vaccination in8-month-old children.
