Benefit–risk ratios of sustaining routine childhood vaccination, with a minimal chance of a measles outbreak and no other vaccine-preventable outbreaks, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa

In this scenario, we assumed that, in the absence of immunisation, herd immunity would protect children missing vaccination for all diseases except measles. We assumed that the chance of a measles outbreak during the 6-month suspension of immunisation was 12·5%, and no other vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks occurred. Countries shaded in grey had missing data.
