title: [Survey of measles vaccine coverage in Brazzaville].
abstract: Measles is an infectious disease that continues to be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among children in Brazzaville. A measles vaccination coverage survey was conducted for children aged 9 to 23 months. A standard EPI cluster sample was applied in two areas: urban and peri-urban. Measles coverage of children after the vaccination campaign according to history ranged from 36.6% in urban to 38.6% in peri-urban areas, compared with 34.5 and 42.8% for routine vaccination in the same areas. The overall rate of measles coverage was 75.4%. The mean age of children was 46 weeks.
