Abstract :
Côte d Ivoire joined the Global Measles Elimination Initiative. In this context, the country developed, through the Expanded Program on Immunization, two five-year strategic plans (2001-2005 and 2007-2012) for measles pre-elimination. It is in this context we carried out this study. The objectives of this study were to describe the evolution of measles cases from 2006 to 2014, to determine the performance of measles surveillance from 2005 to 2014, and to determine the performance of routine immunization and supplementary immunization activities from 2005 to 2014. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study that lasted two months. Data were collected from a literature review of measles control activities in Côte d Ivoire. The information collected was generated by the health districts and compiled at the head office of the Expanded Program of Immunization of Côte d Ivoire. Results: The proportion of health districts that reported at least one suspect case with a sample varied from 2006 to 2014. The annual detection rate was consistent with the standard from 2007 to 2014. Non-measles febrile eruptions rate was not consistent with the standard in 2006, 2009 and 2010. Measles incidence was above the standard from 2009 to 2011. Conclusion. Vaccination coverage of at least 80% in all districts was not achieved over the period 2005-2014. Of the total supplementary immunization activities, the goal of immunization coverage of 95% or more in 100% of the health districts has not been achieved. Conclusion: Efforts are needed to improve immunization against measles through strengthening routine immunization.
