Article Synopsis
- Measles cases in individuals with secondary vaccination failure (SVF) are less infectious compared to unvaccinated individuals, according to a systematic review.
- The review analyzed 14 studies involving over 3,030 people exposed to measles from SVF cases, revealing a low secondary attack rate of 0%-6.25%.
- Only 10.09% of SVF cases transmitted the virus, suggesting that in outbreak situations, public health efforts should focus more on unvaccinated individuals than those with SVF.
