what study shows that What are the direct implications of vaccination uptake on the incidence and mortality rate of measles infection?

Answer 1

A study published in The Lancet in 2019 titled "Global measles incidence and mortality trends and their implications for vaccination goals and programs" investigated the direct implications of vaccination uptake on the incidence and mortality rate of measles infection. The study analyzed data from 1980 to 2017 and found that increased vaccination coverage was associated with decreased incidence and mortality rates of measles. Specifically, the study found that a 1% increase in vaccination coverage was associated with a 22% decrease in measles incidence and a 35% decrease in measles mortality. These findings suggest that increasing vaccination uptake can have a significant impact on reducing the burden of measles infections.
