Since the introduction of measles vaccine in 1964, the morbidity and mortality due to measles have been reduced drastically. Measles vaccination was included in the Expanded Program for Immunization (EPI) in 1974. Since then, coverage of measles vaccination climbed steadily in all regions throughout the year 1980s. In 1980s, after the success of smallpox eradication, some scientist and public health offcials have considered of global effort to eradicate measles. Since 1990s strategies have been planned and implemented in many developing countries to eliminate and eradicate measles. Three regions of the World Health Organization that targeted elimination by 2000s are; in 1994, the American Region targeted elimination by 2000, in 1997, the Eastern Mediterranean targeted elimination by 2010 and in 1998, the European Region targeted elimination by 2007. In 2005, WHO for the Western Pacifc Region targeted elimination by 2012. As we have succeeded in controlling measles occurrence at low level, the Ministry of Health in February 2003 decided to initiate measles elimination in Malaysia starting in 2004. Therefore, all healthcare personnel should implement the measles prevention and control strategies and activities as required for the elimination. This handbook is intended to serve as guiding tool in continuing to create awareness and assisting healthcare personnel in the implementation of Measles Elimination Programme strategies. Dato Dr. Hj.

Since the introduction of measles vaccine in 1964, the morbidity and mortality due to measles have been reduced drastically. However, despite the availability of vaccine for the past 40 years, measles is remains a leading cause of death among young children. An estimated 454,000 people died from measles worldwide in 2004. Measles vaccination and surveillance are two main strategies to prevent and control the diseases. 1.2 THE DISEASE Measles is highly infectious disease caused by a virus in the paramyxovirus family. The disease spread by airborne droplets, close personal contact or direct contact with nasal or throat secretion of infected persons. The incubation period is usually 10 to 12 days but may range up to 21 days. The frst sign of infection is high fever. During this initial stage, patient may develop coryza, cough, red and watery eyes (conjunctivitis) and white spots inside the cheek known as Kopliks spot. After several days (2 4 days), a rash develops, usually started on the face and upper neck. The rash proceeds downwards, reaching hands and feet and lasted for fve to sic days, then fades. The rash occurs, on average, at day 14 after exposure to the virus with a range of seven to 18 days, rarely as long as 19 21 days. An infected individual can transmit the virus from four days prior to the onset of rash to four days after onset. The virus remains active and contagious in the air or on infected surfaces for up to two hours.

However, severe measles likely occur in poorly nourished young children. The most serious complications include, blindness, encephalitis (1 per 1,000 cases), severe diarrhoea, ear infection (1 in every 5 10 cases) and pneumonia (5 10 % of cases). Case fatality rate in developing countries is in the range of 1% to 5%. 1.4 PEOPLE AT RISK Un-immunised persons, especially young children are at highest risk. People who have not been immunised with vaccine or who have not acquired immunity through having experienced the disease can become infected.

Measles vaccine induces long-term and probably lifelong immunity in most individuals. Natural infection produces lifelong immunity. Live attenuated measles virus vaccine are in use. Measles antibodies develop in approximately 85% of children vaccinated at 9 months of age, 95% of children vaccinated at 12 months of age and 98% of those vaccinated at 15 months of age. Second dose vaccination is given to children to overcome this lack detectable antibody. Measles vaccines available in form of monovalent, bivalent (MR measles-rubella) and trivalent (MMR measles-mumps-rubella). 1.6 MEASLES EPIDEMIOLOGY GLOBAL Worldwide, measles cases and deaths are under-reported especially in areas with the highest burden. In 2003, 528,400 cases were reported (from 174 countries) compared to 3,852,242 cases in 1980 (from 148 countries). Worldwide annual deaths from measles (2002) were estimated by WHO at 610,000. About 88.5% of them (540,000) occurred among children under 5 years of age. In Western Pacifc Region, measles cases and deaths estimated of about one million and 30,000 per year, respectively. WHO and UNICEF estimated that the measles vaccination coverage in 2003 was around 77%. 8 MEASLES PREVENTION & CONTROL IN MALAYSIA Handbook for Healthcare Personnel 9 MEASLES PREVENTION & CONTROL IN MALAYSIA Handbook for Healthcare Personnel MEASLES PREVENTION & CONTROL IN MALAYSIA Handbook for Healthcare Personnel 9 2.1 MEASLES EPIDEMIOLOGY MALAYSIA In the pre vaccine era, measles was highly endemic among Malaysian population especially among children. Measles vaccination program was included as part of the Expanded Programme on Immunisation in 1982 and single dose measles vaccination was given to children at 9 months of age. Since the introduction of measles vaccination in Malaysia, the occurrence of measles reduced with the increased of the measles vaccination coverage. The incidence rate of measles reported cases in 1982 was 65.62 per 100,000 populations. In 1989 1998, measles incidence rates in Malaysia were ranged between 1.51 5.87 per 100,000 population. However, measles cases increased drastically in 1999 and 2000 with incidence rates 11.48 (2,608 cases) and 26.59 (6,187 cases) per 100,000 populations, respectively despite measles administrative immunization coverage was 86.6% (1999) and 88% (2000). In these two years, the increased of measles cases occurred in all states and outbreaks were scattered throughout the country both in urban and rural areas. The measles outbreak in 1999 2000 suggested that the outbreak was due to primary vaccine failure and failure to vaccinate that caused accumulation of susceptible individuals PART 2 MEASLES PREVENTION & CONTROL IN MALAYSIA MEASLES PREVENTION & CONTROL IN MALAYSIA Handbook for Healthcare Personnel 9 MEASLES PREVENTION & CONTROL IN MALAYSIA Handbook for Healthcare Personnel 9 Figure 3: Measles incidence rate of measles reported cases and vaccination coverage, Malaysia, 1976 2005. Incidence rate Immunisation Coverage 2.2 MEASLES ELIMINATION As we have succeeded in controlling measles occurrence at low level, the Ministry of Health in February 2003 decided to initiate measles elimination in Malaysia starting in 2004. Following this decision, vaccination and surveillance strategies have been reviewed and changed to achieve the elimination goals and objectives. 2.2.1 Goals and objectives The main goal of this elimination initiative is to achieve sustainable reduction of measles morbidity and mortality and to interrupt the transmission of indigenous measles virus in Malaysia. Specifc objectives of elimination initiative are to; 1) maintain the number of susceptible individuals below the critical number required to sustain transmission of the virus; 2) eliminate measles by year 2010; 3) achieve 0 measles mortality. 10 MEASLES PREVENTION & CONTROL IN MALAYSIA Handbook for Healthcare Personnel 11 MEASLES PREVENTION & CONTROL IN MALAYSIA Handbook for Healthcare Personnel MEASLES PREVENTION & CONTROL IN MALAYSIA Handbook for Healthcare Personnel 11 2.2.2 Strategies Sustainable reduction of measles morbidity, mortality and interruption of the transmission of the indigenous measles virus in Malaysia are possible by implementing the following strategies; 1) Vaccination strategies routine two dose MMR vaccine given to children 2) Surveillance strategies enhancing measles surveillance with integration of epidemiological and laboratory information. 3) Laboratory strategies laboratory confrmation should be done on all suspect measles cases 4) Response to outbreak all measles outbreaks will be carefully investigated 5) Case management improving the management of every measles case 6) Training 2.3 MEASLES VACCINATION 2.3.1 Schedule Two dose of measles vaccine are recommended as the 5 10 percent who fail to be protected by the frst dose will nearly all be protected by the second. The measles vaccination schedule is as follows; Peninsular Malaysia First dose MMR 12 months and Sarawak Second dose MMR 7 year (standard one)
Sabah First single dose 6 months measles First dose MMR 12 months (1 year) Second dose MMR 7 year (standard one) Area Measles vaccination Age vaccination given MEASLES PREVENTION & CONTROL IN MALAYSIA Handbook for Healthcare Personnel 11 MEASLES PREVENTION & CONTROL IN MALAYSIA Handbook for Healthcare Personnel 11 2.3.2 Contraindications Contraindications include; individuals with proven anaphylaxis to neomycin children with immune suppression children who have received another live vaccine in previous month children with HIV infection who are severely immune compromised pregnant women women of children age, who should be advised to avoid pregnancy for the next three months after MMR of measles vaccine. 2.4 MEASLES SURVEILLANCE Adequate disease surveillance data and analysis will permit implementation of appropriate measures to control and eliminate measles. It also will be used in the assessment of progress and in making adjustments to programmes as required. Measles is a notifablle disease under the Control of Communicable Disease Act 1988. In the elimination phase the surveillance of measles should be case-based or known as enhanced measles surveillance (laboratory confrmation should be done). 2.4.1 Objectives The general objectives of measles surveillance are to immediate detecting any suspected cases, confrming cases by laboratory diagnosis and identifying importations and possible sources of infection so that can be used to plan, monitor and evaluate measles elimination programme. The specifc objectives of measles surveillance are to; 1) monitor incidence and coverage in order to assess progress; 2) identify areas at high risk or with poor programme performance; 3) identifying high-risk population; 4) describe the changing epidemiology of measles in terms of age, immunization status and the intervals between epidemics; 12 MEASLES PREVENTION & CONTROL IN MALAYSIA Handbook for Healthcare Personnel 13 MEASLES PREVENTION & CONTROL IN MALAYSIA Handbook for Healthcare Personnel MEASLES PREVENTION & CONTROL IN MALAYSIA Handbook for Healthcare Personnel 13 5) predict the next outbreak that may occur because of a build-up of susceptible persons; 6) detect and investigate measles outbreaks so that cause of outbreaks can be determined 7) determine where measles virus is circulating; 8) assess the performance of surveillance system; 9) ensure proper case management 2.4.2 Case defnition Clinical case defnition for suspect measles case that should be reported/ notify is as follows; 2.4.3 Case classifcation Case classifcation according to laboratory confrmation; Any person with fever and maculopapular rash and cough, coryza (runny nose) or conjunctivitis (red eyes) or Any person in whom a clinician suspects measles infection Clinically confrmed: A case that meets the clinical case defnition Laboratory confrmed: A case that meets the clinical case defnition and is laboratory confrmed (based on laboratory criteria for diagnosis) Epidemiologically confrmed: A case that meets the clinical case defnition and is linked epidemiologally to a laboratory confrmed case. MEASLES PREVENTION & CONTROL IN MALAYSIA Handbook for Healthcare Personnel 13 MEASLES PREVENTION & CONTROL IN MALAYSIA Handbook for Healthcare Personnel 13 2.4.4 Procedures of surveillance Flow of measles surveillance activities is as Appendix 1. i) Case detection take a proper history on the complaint of suspect measles cases who fulfl measles case defnition if the onset of rash is less than 4 days, take blood/serum sample and urine or respiratory specimens from the patient if the onset of rash more than 4 days, take blood/serum from the patient send the clinical sample/s to laboratory identifed by District Health Offce together with Measles Laboratory Request From (MSLF: 01/2004 as Appendix 2). Procedures to collect, store and transport of samples are as in Appendix 3 and 4. The sample/s then transported to National Public Health Laboratory (NPHL), Sungai Buloh for confrmation.
ii) Notifcation All suspect measles cases must be notifed to nearest District Health Offce within 48 hours of rash onset via telephone. As most of the cases detected within few days of rash onset, it is advisable that the case should be notifed as soon as a case detected. Notifcation using Notifcation Form should follow using current system of notifcation. Notifcation Form and notifcation fow are as Appendix 5 and 6. Case classifcation according to source of infection Indigenous infection: A person becomes infected in Malaysia (no history of out from Malaysia 21 days of rash onset), either, Epidemiologically linked to an international imported; or Not linked epidemiologically to an international imported case Imported infection: A person who has confrmed measles and whose rash onset was within 21 days of arrival in Malaysia. 14 MEASLES PREVENTION & CONTROL IN MALAYSIA Handbook for Healthcare Personnel 15 MEASLES PREVENTION & CONTROL IN MALAYSIA Handbook for Healthcare Personnel MEASLES PREVENTION & CONTROL IN MALAYSIA Handbook for Healthcare Personnel 15 iii) Case investigation Identifed Offcer in District Health Offce must investigate all suspect measles cases within 48 hours of notifcation using Measles Investigation Form. Investigation Form is as Appendix 7. iv) Case classifcation After case has been investigated and laboratory result has been available, case must be classifed according the laboratory confrmation and source of infection as following (Appendix 8); clinically confrmed epidemiologically confrmed laboratory confrmed
indigenous infection imported infection v) Data analysis and interpretation Data should be analyse on weekly basis and information should be generate. 2.4.5 Performance indicators The following are the performance indicators that should be evaluated on weekly basis. % of suspected cases notifed within 48 hours of onset of rash % of suspected cases investigated % of cases investigated within 48 hours of notifcation % of cases with laboratory confrmation % of cases with adequate specimen taken % laboratory result (serology) within 7 days % laboratory result (virus isolation) within 14 days % of confrmed cases with sources of infection identifed
