This work is a compilation from three different studies and four different funding sources where data on measles immunity has been tested as part of the study and then combined to provide the narrative in this Correspondence. The COCO study was funded by the UK Medical Research Council. The VIBRANT and SIREN studies were funded by UK Research & Innovation COVID-19 Rapid Response Initiative. Laboratory validation and verification of the measles ELISAs was supported by funding from the UK Medical Research Council (MX/X502996/1). Relevant Ethics committee approvals were from Camden and Kings Cross Research Ethics Committee (20/HRA/1817) for the COCO study and the Chelsea Research Ethics Committee (21/HRA/5433) for the VIBRANT study.
