TL;DR
To determine the validity of parental report of vaccination as a measure of a child's measles immunisation status, a large number of parents believe that their child should be vaccinated.
Abstract
Parental report is limited as a measure of a child's measles immunisation status.

The measles virus enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is a rapid, reproducible, sensitive, and specific method for screening for the presence of measles antibody.

Measles elimination will require complete implementation of current strategies and careful monitoring of epidemiologic trends to determine whether future modifications in strategy are needed.

The majority of mothers recall a large number of children's milestones, and their memories are likely to be roughly correct, but only large differences–usually more than two or three months–between two ages or average ages can be considered as due to anything other than inaccuracies of memory.

There will be fewer cases of measles, but among these cases will be an increasing proportion of cases occurring in previously vaccinated individuals, and the equation to calculate this expected proportion of “vaccine failures” is given.
PubMedHow many children are fully immunised?
10 Citations1984Michael Soljak
It is suggested that many children miss one or two immunisations rather than a few missing most, and present methods of monitoring may therefore tend to over-estimate the level of full immunisation.

No statistical associations were found between measles immunisation compliance and child's age, parental ethnicity, child order, family size, parental level of education or parental ignorance level, but lower family income, high parental apathy level and high parental fear level were found to be associated with measles immunisations non-compliance.
