Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Malaysia is committed to achieve target of Measles Elimination Status in 2025. Risk assessment is recommended to do regularly to evaluate the performance of Measles Programme. Parameters need to be assessed are Measles Population Immunity and Surveillance Quality. The target of risk assessment is to identify high risk area and to carry out specific intervention for target population. METHODS: Stakeholders were identified, and meeting was carried out to discuss the approach of risk assessment. Auditor teams were appointed and cross audited data at health clinics. Population immunity was evaluated by checking Child Health Card, Child Registration Book KKK 101 and Vaccination coverage data. Surveillance quality was assessed by analysis of data from enotice and e-Measles system. Finding was presented to stakeholders and specific intervention was planned. RESULTS: Totally 28 health facilities had been assessed. 14 facilities scored more than 50% and categorised as high risk. 10 clinics reported at least two measles cases age >12 months to <7 years and 11 clinics had MCV coverage less than 95% in 2017. DISCUSSION: In order to achieve Measles Elimination Status, it is important to strengthen the immunization programs such as proper defaulter tracing system and increase the immunization coverage. Supplementary Immunization Activity is suggested for areas that score more than 50%.
