School vaccination gaps raise hidden measles outbreak risks
Original: School vaccination rates reveal hidden measles outbreak risks. But access depends on where you live.
Analysis of school vaccination rates suggests pockets of low immunisation coverage could allow measles to resurface in certain communities, even where overall rates look reassuring. Reporting highlights that access to vaccines varies sharply by location, meaning children in some areas face greater outbreak risk simply because of where they live, prompting calls for better local monitoring and immunisation outreach.
Why now: Renewed concern about measles resurgence is driving attention to local vaccination coverage and unequal access.
