- Measles is a major cause of illness and death among children, but it can be fully prevented through vaccination; despite this, the disease is still prevalent in Brazil.
- The article investigates how well the population adheres to measles vaccination and its links to hospitalizations and deaths from the disease over the years 2013 to 2022.
- High vaccination rates occurred leading up to the disease's eradication in 2016, resulting in low hospitalizations and no deaths; however, vaccination rates have significantly declined since 2019, causing a resurgence of measles along with increased hospitalizations and deaths.
