There will be a delay between the mass vaccination campaign and the reduction of new cases. It takes time for antibodies to develop following vaccination, and measles has an “incubation” period of up to 2 weeks.

@samoagovt Hi. Please start clarifying / educating samoans ( & samoan media ) what 'measles related death' means. It's misleading 2 have ppl thinking it's just the usual measles virus symptoms themselves / alone that have deathly consequences ( not SSPE )#samoa#SamoaMeasles -
I imagine most are due to one of the most common measles' complication, pneumonia.

Ok,but how long time needed for these 42 deaths?
-
From official sources, it appears the outbreak began in October 2019, with the first death being announced on 16 October 2019. By November 4th, there were another 3 deaths, by November 15th there were 14 deaths. It's snowballed from there.

Is anyone monitoring measles in individuals 7-10 days after getting the MMR?
-
Why are you asking? Samoa had low vaccination rates which is why the outbreak is so severe.
