Abstract
Is it feasible to eradicate measles and rubella globally? In response to a request from the 70th World Health Assembly in 2017, a group of experts concluded in 2020 that global eradication was technically feasible with sustained high coverage of two doses of measles- and rubella-containing vaccine, but the more realistic course was to accelerate regional progress towards measles and rubella elimination.1 Advances have been hard-fought and occasionally reversed in the six WHO regions that have established measles elimination goals and the four regions with rubella elimination goals.
