- Nearly 12 per cent of children in India who are eligible for measles vaccination have received none of the recommended double-dose.
- It is signalling a "concerning gap" in immunisation coverage.
- The team found that close to 30 per cent of the eligible children have received only one measles-containing vaccine (MCV1).
- About 60 per cent have been fully immunised (MCV2).
- The findings showed that zero-dose cases were high in the northeastern states, with Nagaland reporting the greatest share at 26 per cent.
- Tamil Nadu was found to report the lowest at 4.6 per cent.
