The Kosi floods of Bihar in 2008 led to initial rapid displacement followed by rehabilitation of the affected population. Strategically planned phase-wise activity of supplementary as well as primary measles vaccination combined with a variety of other interventions proved to be successful in preventing outbreaks and deaths due to measles. While 70% supplementary measles vaccination coverage was achieved in relief camps, the coverage of primary measles doses in the latter phases was dependant on accessibility of villages and previous vaccination status of eligible beneficiaries. The integrated diseases surveillance system, which became operational during the floods, also complemented the vaccination efforts by providing daily figures of cases with fever and rash. The overall response was not only successful in terms of preventing measles mortality, but also provided vital lessons that may be useful for planning future vaccination responses in emergency settings.
2008 年比哈尔邦的戈西河洪灾导致受灾民众最初迅速流离失所，随后进行了安置。有策略地分阶段开展补充和初级麻疹疫苗接种活动，同时采取多种其他干预措施，成功预防了麻疹疫情和死亡。在救济营地实现了 70%的补充麻疹疫苗接种覆盖率，而在后期阶段，初级麻疹剂量的覆盖率取决于村庄的可达性和合格受益人的先前疫苗接种状况。在洪灾期间开始运作的综合疾病监测系统也通过提供每日发热和出疹病例数字，为疫苗接种工作提供了补充。总体应对措施不仅成功预防了麻疹死亡，还提供了宝贵的经验教训，这可能对规划紧急情况下的未来疫苗接种应对措施有用。
