55% of measles positivity rate is found in children from 09 months to 05 years in Punjab in 2024, Out of which 45% are unvaccinated children (Zero dose) indicating the importance of Routine immunisation. Being highly contagious, When these unvaccinated children gets infected with measles, they can transmit virus to lower age group as maternal antibodies are getting neutralise in early age (upto 04 months) makes above 04 months old children prone to get measles from infected children of higher age group (09 months to 05 years) in the same house (secondary attack rate). This results in increasing shift of measles infection under 09 months (36% positivity rate) in 2024.
There is a strong need to focus on Routine immunisation and upcoming Big Catch up (MR vaccination to all children below 05 years) to prevent infection in higher age group (09M - 5 Yr) which will ultimately protect lower age group (Herd Immunity).
