The epidemiology of measles in Tianjin, China, 2005–2014
Highlights
•Despite a gradual decline in reported measles cases, outbreaks continue to occur.
•Males were more likely than females to acquire measles, especially among very young children.
•Non-locals are contributing to measles transmission but the proportion of non-local cases is actually smaller than the proportion of the population they represent.
•Although SIAs successfully reduce cases in the immediate aftermath, numbers rebound 1–3 years following these resource intensive interventions.
