[Measles in the Local Health Unit Naples 4: vaccination coverage, epidemic 2001-2002 and prevention strategies].
The authors have analysed vaccination coverage for measles. The active offer of the vaccine brought about an increase of the vaccination coverage but participation to vaccination proved unsatisfactory between 1995 and 2000. The measles epidemic reported 1367 cases, of which 125 were hospitalised (3 cases presented complications). The target for the next years is to reach a vaccination coverage of 95% or more and recuperate the non vaccinated, starting with the 1990 birth cohort.
