Abstract
Our results highlight the importance of a two-dose measles vaccine schedule and the need for a strong routine immunization program coupled with frequent SIAs. Repeated occurrences of large-scale outbreaks in DRC suggest that vaccination coverage rates are grossly overestimated and signify the importance of the evaluation and modification of measles prevention and control strategies.
