    The document discusses a strategy to introduce a second dose of the measles vaccine. It notes that the first dose has 85% efficacy but only reaches 70% coverage, leaving 30% susceptible. A second dose at 12 months has 95% efficacy. To prevent measles outbreaks, herd immunity of 90-95% is needed. Therefore, countries with over 80% measles coverage should introduce a second dose between 1-2 years of age, while countries under 80% should conduct supplemental immunization activities like catch-up campaigns for children 9 months to 10 years or periodic follow-up campaigns.

    Original Description:

    Hahahaha I dont know what is this all about. Go trash yourself out.

    MEASLES SECOND DOSE

    STRATEGY

    REASON-

    MEASLES first dose

    EFFICACY - 85%
    Coverage - 70 %
    So effectively 70 x 85 = 60% are protected.

    EFFICACY OF SECOND DOSE AFTER 12


    MONTHS 95%
    HERD IMMUNITY TO PREVENT
    MEASLES OUTBREAK : 90-95%

    So with all these concepts it was decided to


    impliment this new strategy to decrease the
    susceptible population.

    Measles coverage

    > 80% : INTRODUCE MEASLES SECOND


    DOSE UNDER THE SCHEDULE IN THE
    FORM OF MR/MMR between 1-2 years.
    < 80% : Do Supplimentary immunization
    activities ( SIAs)

    Supplimentary immunization activities (


    SIAs)

    2 types CATCH UP CAMPAIGN


    FOLLOW UP CAMPAIGN

    CATCH UP CAMPAIGN
    Immunize all d children between 9 months to 10
    years with one dose of measles ( irrespective of
    previous immunization status)
    FOLLOW UP CAMPAIGN
    It is done periodically ( every 3-5 years) to target
    children who were born after previous catch up
    campaign.
