Overview

Cross-sectional analysis evaluates MMR vaccination trends and immunity gaps in children, suggesting public health needs.

Key Points

  • Timely MMR vaccine 1 coverage remained unchanged at 53.6% from 0 to 20 months post-outbreak.
  • Timely MMR vaccine 2 coverage increased from 57.9% to 60.2% during the same period, indicating a modest improvement.
  • Vaccination rates for at least 1 MMR dose improved slightly from 77.3% to 77.9%, but still below immunity thresholds.
  • Children of Somali descent consistently showed lower MMR vaccine coverage by nearly 19.7 percentage points, underscoring equity issues.
