Measles vaccine-associated rash illness amidst measles elimination: National surveillance data, South Korea.

Abstract

We reviewed national surveillance data to describe measles vaccine-associated rash illness (VARI) in Korea, between 2011 and 2021. A total of 110 (11.6% of total reports) VARI case-patients were notified, with median age of 12 months; mean interval between vaccination and rash, 10 days. 86.4% had fevers, 20.0% cough. The findings demonstrate the importance of genotype identification in the midst of measles elimination phase.conducted. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
