    Abstract:
    Prior to the 2004 Philippines Measles Follow up Elimination Campaign, measles caused an estimated 6000 deaths among Filipino children. After the campaign, cases and deaths decreased by 96.4% and 99.2%, respectively. The Nationwide Rapid Coverage Assessments, with an extensive system of feedback, was the prime factor in reaching the under-immunized areas.
