  • Assessment of vaccination campaign effectiveness and eradication goals.

    • Main Results:

    • In industrialized nations, measles is often perceived as benign, primarily causing absenteeism.
    • In developing countries, measles is frequent and severe, justifying mass vaccination costs.
    • The United States is nearing measles eradication, contrasting with ongoing challenges elsewhere.

    Conclusions:

    • Measles management strategies must be tailored to specific socioeconomic and environmental contexts.
    • Mass vaccination campaigns are crucial for controlling severe measles outbreaks in resource-limited settings.
    • Achieving global measles eradication requires sustained public health efforts and equitable vaccine access.
