TL;DR: Progress toward WHA milestones and regional measles elimination during 2000-2018 is described and resource commitments are needed to strengthen routine immunization systems, close historical immunity gaps, and improve surveillance.

TL;DR: To drive progress toward the regional measles elimination targets, additional strategies are needed to help countries reach all children with 2 doses of measles-containing vaccine, identify and close immunity gaps, and improve surveillance.

TL;DR: To make further progress, case-based surveillance needs to be strengthened, and coverage with MCV1 and the second dose of measles-containing vaccine needs to increase; in addition, it will be important to maintain political commitment and ensure substantial, sustained investments to achieve global and regional measles elimination goals.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe progress toward World Health Assembly milestones and measles elimination objectives during 2000-2020 and update a previous report, and highlight robust measles surveillance systems to document immunity gaps, identify root causes of undervaccination, and develop locally tailored solutions to ensure administration of 2 doses of measles-containing vaccine (MCV) to all children.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors reviewed the number and target population of reported preventive and outbreak response vaccination campaigns scheduled, postponed, canceled, and reinstated at 4 time points: May 2020, December 2020, May 2021, and December 2021.
