Abstract

The retrospective analysis of incidence of epidemic parotitis in Russia in 1995-2016 is carried out. It is shown that growth of this infection incidence in 2016 was caused by the poor vaccination and revaccination coverage in the past, as well as the poor immunization quality (vaccination failures) and the decrease in post-vaccination immunity at some vaccinated persons due to absence of natural «booster effect» in the condition of sporadic incidence for a number of years, untimely and not in full holding the response and preventive actions in foci of the infection, and also delivery of the epidemic parotitis virus from epidemic area. Recommendations are formulated to hold actions for improvement of the epidemiological situation.
