Measles Among the Foreign-Born Population Residing in Spain, 2014–2022: Missed Opportunities for Vaccination
The incidence of measles is 40% higher in Spain's foreign-born population than in its native-born population. Taking into account the increasing migrant population in Spain, we consider that public health efforts need to be directed towards susceptible groups of people. In this context of advanced elimination, specific interventions for identifying and attending the most vulnerable populations should be designed and implemented.
