Results A total of 267 reported emergency public health events at school in Tianjin during 2006-2013, of which 257 infectious disease events, accounting for 96.25%. The incident occurred in primary schools and nurseries. The peak was from March to June and October to December for the incident.

There was a correlation between the duration and interval from onset of the first case to report of emergency public health events(rs=0.522, P < 0.05).
