The observed coverage was below both Bangladesh's national target and the 95% outbreak-prevention level. Complete measles vaccination in the study meant receiving the first measles-containing vaccine dose at 9 months and the second dose at 15 months or later. The study found 80% complete measles vaccination coverage among 2,651 Bangladeshi children aged 15-59 months. At least 95% coverage for both measles-containing vaccine doses is needed to prevent outbreaks and protect communities.
