Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of measles control measures and changes in surveillance strategies in tribal regions of India.
Conducted an observational retrospective study from 2011 to 2024.
Utilized descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation analysis.
Examined vaccination strategies including first-dose and second-dose measles vaccines.
First-dose measles coverage (MCV-1) averaged 97.3%, exceeding WHO targets.
Second-dose coverage (MCV-2) peaked at 86.6% in 2015 but averaged only 67.7%.
Following the introduction of the MR vaccine, MR-1 and MR-2 coverage reached 92.9% and 88.7%, respectively.
