“…The analysis of the results revealed the consequences of low measles vaccination coverage in three of the six articles selected for this ILR: Lo & Hotez (2017);Faruk et al (2020); Gutu et al (2020). Among the evidenced consequences, the following stand out: increase in the number of measles cases, in the risk of mortality resulting from non-vaccination, and in the health expenses of the public sector (Lo & Hotez, 2017;Faruk et al, 2017;Gutu et al, 2020).…”

“…Another important consequence of the low measles vaccination coverage identified in the analysis of the results was a higher risk of measles mortality in individuals who were unvaccinated, under five years old, hospitalized for treatment of the disease (Faruk et al, 2020;Gutu et al, 2020). Lack of vaccination renders the individual susceptible to the disease, and school-age children can be considered a primary channel of measles transmission as a consequence of the longer chain of contacts (Lo & Hotez, 2017;Gastañaduy et al, 2017;Faruk et al, 2020). Linked to this, it is emphasized that parents' vaccine hesitancy becomes a potential engine of this transmission chain, as already mentioned in the previous category.…”

“…Measles is a highly infectious, vaccine-preventable viral disease that requires high vaccination coverage in order for herd immunity to be achieved and for outbreaks to be prevented (Lo & Hotez, 2017). It is a viral infection that mainly affects children under five years of age and is characterized as one of the main causes of mortality among children, reaching general lethality rates of 10.7 per 1,000 inhabitants in areas with a higher vaccination deficit (Lo & Hotez, 2017;Faruk et al, 2020;Gutu et al, 2020).…”

“…This growing percentage of individuals susceptible to measles that affects the US is also a reality in low-income countries, such as Nigeria, Uganda and Ethiopia. These countries, in addition to dealing with the lack of financial and immunobiological resources, also suffer from low measles vaccination coverage and show a seasonal variance of this type of viral infection, with medians of 1.8, 0.7, 0.4 and 0.1, respectively, for the 1 st , 2 nd , 3 rd and 4 th quarters, in observations carried out between 2013 and 2017 (Faruk et al, 2020).…”

Measles is a viral, infectious, preventable disease that requires high vaccination coverage in order for herd immunity to be achieved and for outbreaks to be prevented. This study aims to identify the possible causes and consequences of low measles vaccination coverage. This is an integrative literature review based on original articles published in electronic databases between 2015 and 2021. Said articles were identified through controlled descriptors, prepared for structural and methodological evaluation, and categorized using the thematic content analysis technique. After application of the inclusion, exclusion and checklist criteria, six publications remained. Two thematic categories were defined: “Possible causes of low measles vaccination coverage worldwide” and “Consequences of low measles vaccination coverage”. Evidenced causes included: absent, incomplete or late vaccination schedule, late implementation of mass vaccination, insufficient stock of vaccines, and increased hesitation on the part of parents. The consequences were an increase in measles cases, in the risk of mortality, and in the health expenses of the public sector. It was concluded that a reduction in measles vaccination coverage has the potential to impact the population’s health conditions, to raise morbimortality indicators and to cause losses to public coffers.
