It constitutes one of the most severe resurgences of vaccine-preventable disease in South Asia in the post-elimination era, with 19,161 suspected cases, 2897 laboratory-confirmed cases, and 166 reported deaths across 58 of 64 districts within 30 days. To capture the memory effect inherent in immunity dynamics and viral persistence, we formulate a fractional-order SEIVR model governed by the Caputo differential operator of order <span>(alpha in (0,1])</span>. The model incorporates five compartments: Susceptible (<i>S</i>), Exposed (<i>E</i>), Infected (<i>I</i>), Vaccinated (<i>V</i>), and Recovered (<i>R</i>) with constant vaccine efficacy <span>(eta =0.85)</span> reflecting documented one-dose coverage and a vaccine-immunity waning rate <span>(omega )</span>. Unlike previous theoretical fractional measles models, the proposed framework is calibrated using official WHO surveillance data from the 2026 Bangladesh outbreak, enabling outbreak-specific parameter estimation, quantitative model validation, and evaluation of vaccination strategies under memory-dependent epidemic dynamics. We establish the positivity and boundedness of solutions, derive a closed-form expression for the basic reproduction number <span>(mathcal {R}_{0})</span> via the next-generation matrix method, and prove local asymptotic stability of the disease-free and endemic equilibria. Global stability conditions are investigated using fractional Lyapunov functionals. Numerical simulations using the Adams-type predictor-corrector scheme are performed over a 365-day horizon and compared against WHO situation-report data. Sensitivity analysis identifies <span>(mathcal {R}_{0})</span> as most sensitive to the infectious contact rate and the recovery rate. Optimal control theory is applied to minimise the infected population and vaccination cost simultaneously. Results show that, with one-dose efficacy (<span>(eta =0.85)</span>), vaccination alone cannot drive <span>(mathcal {R}_{0})</span> below unity; reducing <span>(mathcal {R}_{0}<1)</span> requires two-dose efficacy (<span>(eta approx 0.97)</span>) combined with sustained high coverage. Model calibration against the reported WHO outbreak data identified the fractional order <span>(alpha =0.85)</span> as providing the best agreement with surveillance observations according to the root mean square error (RMSE) criterion. The proposed framework provides outbreak-specific epidemiological insights for vaccination planning and public health decision-making that cannot be obtained from purely theoretical fractional epidemic models lacking real-time outbreak calibration. The principal mathematical contribution is the integration of rigorous fractional stability theory with outbreak-specific parameter estimation and optimal intervention analysis within a unified SEIVR framework.
