Abstract

This project will consist of a sero-epidemiological study of measles and rubella, with evaluations of sero-prevalence in the school population in urban São Paulo two months after the end of the state triple vaccination campaign, and one and two years after the implantation of this vaccine in the state immunization program. Mathematical and computational models will be developed for the evaluation of the impact of immunization strategies against rubella and measles. (AU)
