Abstract
⺠The coverage rate of measles vaccine was >95% for more than a decade in Taiwan. ⺠We estimated the seroprevalence of measles in Taiwan using volunteer-based samples. ⺠There was a significant declining trend of seropositivity with age in vaccinees. ⺠The overall seroprevalence of measles was not sufficient for herd immunity. ⺠Waning vaccine-induced immunity weakened the population immunity to measles.
