📢New paper led by @amsuffel.bsky.social in Nature Comms! We implemented a mathematical model to evaluate how vaccination timing and vaccine coverage impact measles dynamics, following the JCVI's recommendation to bring forward the second dose of MMR vaccine to 18 months of age by 2026 in England🧶
Impact of vaccination timing and coverage on measles near elimination dynamics: a mathematical modelling analysis - Nature Communications
In response to declining vaccination coverage in England the recommended age for the second vaccine dose has been changed from 40 months to 18 months. Here, the authors perform a mathematical modelling study to assess the impacts of this change on measles transmission dynamics.

Should you get a measles booster? Here's how to protect yourself amid the recent outbreaks.
Cases in Texas and other states are on the rise, but most of the infected were not vaccinated. Here’s what to know about the very contagious disease and how immunity works.

How the West lost its grip on measles (and what we can do about it)
Falling vaccination coverage is promoting a resurgence of measles in countries that had previously eliminated it.
