  • Title: CDC joins PAHO to eradicate measles.
    Journal: EPI Newsl; 1999 Jun; 21(3):1-2. PubMed ID: 12290363.
    Abstract:
    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, USA has joined the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) in the effort to eradicate measles in the Western Hemisphere by the year 2000. This partnership will ensure the successful completion of the target of measles eradication and will play a critical role in complementing national efforts toward the prevention, control, and eradication of other vaccine-preventable diseases. The PAHO and CDC partnership will focus on strengthening measles surveillance in the Americas and on ensuring that countries implement in full the PAHO-recommended vaccination strategy to eradicate the disease. This partnership will also be critical in the advancement toward the adoption and implementation of a global measles eradication goal.
