Global and regional burden of measles and vaccine coverage among children under 5 years, 1990−2023: a Global Burden of Disease Study
In brief
An updated Global Burden of Disease Study shows that measles incidence and mortality in children under 5 declined steadily from 1990 to 2019, then rebounded after 2020 as global vaccination progress stalled. The paper was published in Nature Medicine, DOI: 10.1038/s41591-026-04661-7.
Why it matters
The paper gives both the 1990–2019 decline and the post-2020 rebound, letting readers compare the resurgence with stalled vaccination progress.
