Background/Objectives: Spain has been in a measles elimination phase since 2014. No evidence exists about the distribution of cases among population born outside Spain. The aim this study was thus to describe epidemiological situation measles, stratified by place birth, during post-elimination period Methods: This is retrospective confirmed reported RENAVE between 2014 and 2022. A descriptive analysis case characteristics (sex, age group, vaccination status, imported case) performed, well as an temporal trends geographic incidence rate (IR; cases/million inhabitants). All analyses were origin (Spain vs. Spain). We then performed sensitivity those Spain, with representation Kaplan–Meier curves taking into account year arrival country until onset measles. Results: Between 2022, 951 (overall IR: 2.3). Among these, 18.6% (177 cases, 3.0) IRs show differences (p < 0.001) terms group origin. By children under 5 years had highest IR, but adults aged 30 older proportion cases. ratio (IRR) 5-fold higher foreign-born than native-born children. time trend shows peak 2019 for (IR: 8.6 5.4, respectively), consistent European-wide scenario, while only one Geographical variability rates region observed: Catalonia Valencian Community accumulated throughout period. median from rash 6 years. Conclusions: 40% Spain’s its population. Taking increasing migrant we consider that public health efforts need be directed towards susceptible groups people. In context advanced elimination, specific interventions identifying attending most vulnerable populations should designed implemented.

Abstract Background Migrants in the UK and Europe face vulnerability to vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) due missed childhood vaccines doses marginalisation from health systems. Ensuring migrants receive catch-up vaccinations, including MMR, Td/IPV, MenACWY, HPV, is essential align them with European vaccination schedules ultimately reduce morbidity mortality. However, recent evidence highlights poor awareness implementation of guidelines by primary care staff, requiring novel approaches strengthen pathway. Methods The ‘Vacc on Track’ study (May 2021–September 2022) aimed measure under-vaccination rates among establish new referral pathways for vaccination. Participants included aged 16 or older, born outside Western Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand, two London boroughs. Quantitative data history, referral, uptake, sociodemographic factors were collected, practice nurses prompted deliver vaccinations following guidelines. Focus group discussions in-depth interviews staff explored views delivering vaccination, barriers, facilitators, opportunities. Data analysed using STATA12 NVivo 12. Results 57 presenting sites 18 countries (mean age 41 [SD 7.2] years; 62% female; mean 11.3 9.1] years UK) over a minimum 6 months follow-up revealed significant needs, particularly MMR (49 [86%] required vaccination) Td/IPV (50 [88%]). Fifty-three (93%) participants referred any but completion courses was low (6 [12%] 33 [64%] MMR), suggesting individual systemic barriers. Qualitative ( n = 39) adult highlighted lack systems currently place offer arrival need health-care provider skills knowledge be improved. 32) identified limited appointment/follow-up time, gaps, inadequate engagement routes, incentivisation as challenges that will addressed. they underscored potential champions, trust-building mechanisms, community-based uptake migrants. Conclusions Given needs our sample, current barriers driving identified, findings suggest it important explore this public issue further, potentially through larger trial. Strengthening existing pathways, capacity care, alongside implementing strategies centred cultural competence building trust migrant communities focus areas.

We report a cluster of infections with genetically related toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae linked to an outbreak among asylum seekers in Switzerland that subsequently affected patients without known exposure. This discovery highlights the importance rapid, interdisciplinary investigations and regular vaccination status assessment, especially elderly populations waning immunity.
