Por esta raz\u00f3n, incluso, peque\u00f1as brechas en la cobertura vacunal pueden traducirse r\u00e1pidamente en brotes epid\u00e9micos.<\/p>\n
En Rep\u00fablica Dominicana, el problema no es solo la cobertura anual, sino tambi\u00e9n la acumulaci\u00f3n progresiva de ni\u00f1os susceptibles a lo largo del tiempo. Con aproximadamente 190,000 nacimientos anuales, las coberturas actuales implican que alrededor de 15,000 ni\u00f1os no reciben la primera dosis de la vacuna y cerca de 30,000 no completan la segunda dosis cada a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n
Cuando estas cohortes se acumulan, el resultado es una \u201cbolsa epidemiol\u00f3gica\u201d de poblaci\u00f3n susceptible. Por ejemplo, entre 2021 y 2025, las estimaciones sugieren que podr\u00edan haberse acumulado entre 150,000 y 200,000 ni\u00f1os con susceptibilidad total o parcial al sarampi\u00f3n. Esta cifra representa una vulnerabilidad estructural que no debe subestimarse.<\/p>\n
El riesgo se amplifica por la movilidad poblacional y el intercambio internacional con la llegada de inmigrantes y viajeros probablemente infectados desde pa\u00edses donde est\u00e1 la enfermedad. En tales circunstancias, la presencia de grandes grupos susceptibles crea el escenario ideal para la aparici\u00f3n de brotes.<\/p>\n
Adem\u00e1s del impacto sanitario, un brote de sarampi\u00f3n en RD tendr\u00eda tambi\u00e9n implicaciones pol\u00edticas, econ\u00f3micas y sociales, ya que despu\u00e9s de importantes avances logrados en los \u00faltimos 30 a\u00f1os en inmunizaci\u00f3n infantil, permitir la reaparici\u00f3n de esta enfermedad prevenible representar\u00eda un retroceso dif\u00edcil de justificar.<\/p>\n
Mantener la eliminaci\u00f3n del sarampi\u00f3n exige decisiones firmes: fortalecer las campa\u00f1as de vacunaci\u00f3n, mejorar el seguimiento de las segundas dosis, identificar comunidades con baja cobertura y reforzar la vigilancia epidemiol\u00f3gica.<\/p>\n
Las autoridades sanitarias a\u00fan est\u00e1n a tiempo de cerrar las brechas actuales y evitar que un brote de sarampi\u00f3n vuelva a convertirse en una amenaza para la ni\u00f1ez. Pero para lograrlo se requiere voluntad pol\u00edtica, liderazgo sanitario y un compromiso sincero con la sociedad dominicana.<\/p>\n
Ahora bien, la pregunta no es si el virus del sarampi\u00f3n puede regresar; la verdadera pregunta es si el Gobierno Dominicano est\u00e1 dispuesto a hacer lo necesario para impedirlo.<\/p>\n
