abstract: Measles is a serious public health issue that is resurging in countries where it was previously on the path to eradication. The United Kingdom has recently experienced a multitude of large measles outbreaks that may be associated with a cohort of children whose vaccinations were withheld due to an autism scare in the late 1990s. However, it is still unknown what specific reasons for undervaccination are leading to outbreaks as national vaccination rates continue to hold steadily near or above the threshold considered necessary for measles eradication. Identifying the factors influencing undervaccination in specific regions that lead to measles outbreaks could have a significant public health impact and lead to the creation of specially tailored public health interventions to increase vaccination. This study aims to identify specific reasons for undervaccination prior to measles outbreaks in the United Kingdom between 2010 and 2019.
