Epidemiological Impact of Combining Vaccination, Therapy, and Treatment in Measles Control

Ranjan Vasudev

Measles, a highly contagious viral disease, poses a significant public health threat, particularly among children. While vaccination has been instrumental in reducing the global burden of measles, this article explores the epidemiological impact of integrating vaccination, therapy, and treatment in measles control. Measles transmission dynamics, the role of vaccination, and the often overlooked importance of therapy and treatment are discussed. Combining these measures creates a synergistic approach that reduces transmission, enhances herd immunity, improves outbreak management, and eases the healthcare burden. This holistic strategy is crucial for achieving global measles eradication and ensuring the comprehensive well-being of vulnerable populations.
