    Abstract

    The aim of this study was to characterize the adverse events of attenuated measles vaccine in mainland China. We carried out prospective follow-up of adverse events after mass measles immunization practices, categorizing them into two groups: allergic reactions and serious adverse events. The incidence of anaphylaxis reaction was estimated to be 6.5 per million for attenuated measles vaccine. Among 14.3 million vaccination practices, 1 case each of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and 28 cases of Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) were reported. The total incidence of serious adverse events after vaccination was 2.14 per million doses.
