Measles Vaccination Coverage After a Postelimination Outbreak
In this repeated cross-sectional study of 149 092 children in a large central Ohio primary care network during the 20 months after outbreak onset, all measures of MMR coverage remained well below the 93% herd immunity threshold. These persistent, population-wide immunity gaps suggest the need for sustained, equity-focused public health strategies to maintain measles elimination.
