Acute Febrile Illness Surveillance for Estimating Population Immunity, Dominican Republic, 2021

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: We assessed whether acute febrile illness surveillance could provide timely estimates of population immunity. In the Dominican Republic, antibody levels and inferred protection were similar between surveillance data and household survey serum samples, suggesting that surveillance platforms may offer a scalable approach to track population-level protection.
