Vaccination in pulses: a strategy for global eradication of measles and polio?

Abstract:

:Recent American successes against poliomyelitis and measles have been attributed to repeated 'pulse' vaccination campaigns. Whilst logistic and economic constraints will be crucial, a deeper epidemiological understanding of the mechanism, strengths and weaknesses of pulse vaccination will optimize the chances of success elsewhere in the world.
