Around one in ten hospitalized children had one dose of the measles vaccine. Vaccinated cases had fewer illnesses with few complications than unvaccinated cases. The paper highly emphasizes providing booster doses, improving vaccine logistics and storage, and following immunization schedules. In addition, conducting further multicentral high sample-size studies is highly required to identify whether vaccine inadequacy was due to host-related or vaccine-related factors.
