Figure 2. Impact of parental vaccination on the future age-specific immunity profiles.

Mean measles age-specific epidemiological status as estimated by the model for the year 2045 under different scenarios for the ‘parental vaccination’ program. Shown for each age is the percentage of individuals who are susceptible to infection or protected against infection by maternal antibodies and by immunity acquired through natural infection, routine (first or second dose) vaccination, vaccination at school entry or parental vaccination.
