Space-time smoothing models for sub-national measles routine immunization coverage estimation with complex survey data [PDF]
, 2020 Despite substantial advances in global measles vaccination, measles disease burden remains high in many low- and middle-income countries. A key public health strategy for controling measles in such high-burden settings is to conduct supplementary immunization activities (SIAs) in the form of mass vaccination campaigns, in addition to delivering ...

Early life exposure to measles and later-life outcomes: Evidence from the introduction of a vaccine [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Until the mid 1960s, the UK experienced regular measles epidemics, with the vast majority of children being infected in early childhood. The introduction of a measles vaccine substantially reduced its incidence. The first part of this paper examines the long-term human capital and health effects of this change in the early childhood disease environment.
