Could changing a vaccine age rule halve child deaths?
NCT ID NCT01306006
Summary
This study tested whether a national policy that stops offering measles vaccine after a child's first birthday affects child survival. Researchers compared two groups of children aged 9-35 months in Guinea-Bissau: one followed the standard policy, and the other received the measles vaccine regardless of age. The goal was to see if the vaccine, known to have broad protective effects, could cut mortality in half for children who get it later.
