#measles serosurveys can compliment vaccine coverage and surveillance data to estimate population immunity in #LMICS. But decision tools are needed to assess when they should be used. @NSCrowcroft

Very telling maps from @TorontoStar that show that people living in neighborhoods hardest hit by COVID-19 are least likely to be vaccinated.

For those interested, this is the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) guidance document for the prioritization of initial doses of #COVID19 vaccine(s):
-Long term care
-Healthcare workers
-Indigenous communities
-Age >80, then >70 yrs

Disruption to routine immunization programs globally during the COVID-19 pandemic will put us at risk for future outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases like measles

Congratulations @NSCrowcroft on your new position @WHO! Sad to see you leave, but happy that the world gets to have you fight measles and rubella globally!
Congratulations to Natasha Crowcroft (@NSCrowcroft) on her new role, @WHO Senior Technical Advisor - Measles & Rubella Control. We look forward to her continued engagement with @UofT_dlsph's Centre for Vaccine Preventable Diseases Centre in her new post.
