An Upsurge of Measles Cases in Mali—a Consequence of Pandemic-associated Disruption in Routine Immunization

Abstract

Measles deaths highlight immunization program gaps. In the Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance study in Mali, we observed a rise in under-5 measles-related deaths in 2022 that corresponded with increased measles cases at the same time and a decline in measles vaccine coverage in Mali in 2020.
