Several lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and influenza pandemics before that can be applied to measles mitigation strategies. There are also unique public health challenges of measles prevention and response in prisons, jails, and detention centers. This presentation will review important details about measles, including structural factors that heighten outbreak risks in carceral environments and evidence-based strategies for prevention including vaccination. Get specific actions to prepare for measles in your facility or agency.
