International Measles Incidence and Immunization Coverage

International measles incidence and immunization coverage.

Measles is exquisitely sensitive to immunization programs. We investigated the decline in measles incidence after immunization with 1 or 2 doses of measles-containing vaccine (MCV), with or without supplementary immunization activities (SIAs). Using data from the World Health Organization, we modeled the impact of measles immunization using a negative binomial regression model. All countries of...

Timing of Measles Immunization and Effective Population Vaccine Coverage

OBJECTIVE: To describe measles vaccination patterns in a cohort of Swiss children aged up to 3 years insured with a single health insurer. METHODS: A dynamic cohort study evaluating measles immunizations patterns in children born between 2006 and 2008 was conducted. Timeto-event analysis was used to describe timing of measles immunization. Effective vaccine coverage was calculated by using an a...

Measles immunization in IRAN

Measles supplemental immunization activities improve measles vaccine coverage and equity: Evidence from Kenya, 2002.

OBJECTIVES To compare the measles vaccine coverage achieved through the routine vaccination program with that achieved during the 2002 supplemental immunization activity (SIA) at the national and provincial level, the percentage of previously unvaccinated children (zero-dose children) reached during the SIA, and the equity of measles vaccine coverage among children aged 9-23 months in Kenya. ...
