    Abstract:
    The purpose of the study was to assess measles incidence in the cohort of schoolchildren and vaccination effectiveness. Subjects under study covered 1005 children in the aged of 11 years, who were covered by the prospective epidemiological study in Krakow. The results of the study have demonstrated that 78% of children received full vaccination, 18% underwent incompleted vaccination, while only 4% did not receive any vaccination against measles. Cumulated incidence in the total group was 12%, but in the unvaccinated it was 4 times higher (41%) than in the vaccinated group of children (9%). In the group with incomplete vaccination, cumulative incidence was 17%. Effectiveness of uncompleted vaccination was 58% and that of the complete vaccination reached 78%. When additional variables were included in the multivariate logistic models such as children health status and potential errors of medical diagnosis, estimated effectiveness of current vaccination program was higher than 90%.
