Abstract
We conducted a qualitative evaluation of health department measles response practices from March to October 2024. Focus group sessions with public health officials from 11 jurisdictions revealed that despite resource constraints and evolving challenges, health departments enhanced surveillance and response capabilities by prioritizing community engagement, data modernization, and continuous quality improvement. Key lessons include the importance of real-time data tracking, the value of established protocols and training, and the need for standardized metrics to evaluate response effectiveness across jurisdictions.
