The decision to choose a two-dose measles vaccination schedule depends on whether elimination rather then control is the goal. Both mathematical models and epidemiologic observations suggest that elimination is not possible with only one dose of current measles vaccines. A two-dose schedule is clearly...
aThe issue now is to maintain the age-specific susceptibility of preschool children aged 1–5 years at low levels. To prevent accumulation of susceptible people when a five-year interval exists between the first and second dose of MMR vaccine, it is necessary to maintain the coverage of prescho...
