During a measles outbreak investigation in Siaya district clustering of many measles cases were found to be an important determinant for measles mortality. A high proportion of cases were under one year of age. Case fatality rates were higher than previously reported from Kenya, particularly among infants. Vaccine efficacy was 18%. Alternative ways of protecting infants are discussed.
