Measles transmission has been largely controlled in most Pacific Island Countries and Areas, but periodic large outbreaks have occurred in a number of places due to various factors, including vaccine coverage, susceptible population size and connections between countries. This research aims to estimate susceptibility build-up rates and forecast outbreak frequency in the Pacific using epidemiological and mathematical modelling with the goal of influencing and informing vaccine policy and practice for the Pacific Island Countries.
