Comparing and integrating human mobility data sources for measles transmission modeling in Zambia
Quantifying population mobility is crucial in developing accurate models of infectious disease dynamics. Increasingly, multiple data sources are available to describe individual and population mobility in a single location; however, there are no methods to systematically integrate these data. Combining information from these data sets may be valuable and help mitigate inherent biases in each data set due to sampling, censoring, and recall. We exa…
High measles and rubella vaccine coverage and seroprevalence among Zambian children participating in a measles and rubella supplementary immunization activity
Post-campaign coverage surveys estimate the proportion of previously unvaccinated children vaccinated during supplementary immunization activities (SIA) but cannot address whether susceptible children seronegative to measles and rubella viruses were vaccinated during the SIA. We conducted a cross-sectional serosurvey nested within the November 2020 measles-rubella SIA in Zambia, systematically sampling children aged 9 months to 5 years at 30 SIA …
Feasibility and acceptability of collecting dried blood spots (DBS) from children after vaccination during supplementary immunization activities to estimate measles and rubella seroprevalence
Nested serosurveys within routine service delivery platforms such as planned supplemental immunization activities (SIAs) provide an opportunity to collect information that can be used to answer valuable questions on the effectiveness and efficiency of the delivery model to inform future activities. However, integrating research data collection in SIAs is rarely done due to concerns it will negatively impact the program. We conducted a serosurvey …
Who is missed in a community-based survey
Community-based serological studies are increasingly relied upon to measure disease burden, identify population immunity gaps, and guide control and elimination strategies; however, there is little understanding of the potential for and impact of sampling biases on outcomes of interest. As part of efforts to quantify measles immunity gaps in Zambia, a community-based serological survey using stratified multi-stage cluster sampling approach was co…
