MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2023 Sep 8;72(36):985-991. doi: 10.15585/mmwr.mm7236a3.ABSTRACTWorldwide, measles remains a major cause of disease and death; the highest incidence is in the World Health Organization African Region (AFR).

Universal hepatitis B birth dose; human papillomavirus vaccine; rotavirus vaccine; and diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis-containing vaccine first booster dose have been introduced by 57%, 59%, 60%, and 72% of all co...
