Measles outbreak response: A multicountry validation of a simple alert system | Catherine Eisenhauer

Multi-country validation of a simple alert system to improve measles outbreak response
Outbreak alert systems can offset the severity of measles epidemics by minimising response delays. Existing systems, however, are often too sensitive to be practical when identifying areas for reactive interventions. To redress this challenge, we present a simple alternative system that combines a weekly and triweekly suspected case threshold. First evaluated in the DRC in 2022, here we extend the evaluation of this system to the context of Niger.
