Abstract
Background: Illnesses with the aerosol mode of transmission dominate in the domain of infectious diseases. Influenced by natural, social, and biological factors, epidemiological characteristics of infectious diseases change. The present study aims at determining the peculiar modern features of the epidemiological situation regarding viral infections with the aerosol transmission in Ukraine.
Methods: Epidemiological and statistical research methods were applied. Statistical processing was conducted using standard methods of variation and correlation statistics.
Results: Influenza incidence ranged from 31.14-184.45 per 100,000 people. Other acute respiratory viral infections went from 13,685.24 to 18,382.5. The epidemic process of measles was characterized by increasing incidence in 2018 and 2019. In Ukraine, a tendency to reduce rubella and mumps (р < 0.05) was found. Median coverage of measles, mumps, rubella vaccine (MMR-1) vaccine was 64.9%, of MMR-2 vaccine-71.2%. The positive effect of immunization on the incidence of mumps and rubella has been established.
Conclusion: The study found wide prevalence of diseases with the aerosol transmission in Ukraine, variety of their clinical forms causes difficulties in combating them. The administration of two doses of the measles vaccine does not protect against this disease. The demographic situation in Ukraine may indirectly influence the intensity of the epidemic situation of viral infections with the aerosol transmission.

Key words: Influenza, acute respiratory viral infections, SARS-CoV-2, measles, vaccination.
