Measles remains a leading cause of vaccine-preventable morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries. This study assessed the effectiveness of community-based vaccination programs in reducing measles incidence in three semi-urban districts over a 12-month period. Interventions included mobile vaccination clinics, door-to-door outreach, and educational campaigns to address vaccine hesitancy. Data from 2,000 children aged 6 months to 5 years were analyzed for vaccination coverage and incidence of confirmed measles cases. Post-intervention analysis revealed a 40% increase in vaccination coverage and a 35% reduction in measles incidence compared to baseline. The program also improved caregiver knowledge about vaccination schedules and reduced misconceptions regarding vaccine safety. These findings highlight the importance of accessible, community-driven vaccination strategies to enhance immunization coverage and prevent outbreaks.
