Strengthening national immunization systems is an important goal in the WHO European Region as immunization saves lives. The WHO Regional Office for Europe launched a strategic plan in 2002 to eliminate measles and prevent congenital rubella infection, and in 2005 expanded it to include the elimination of rubella as well. This report indicates that, by the progress already made, these objectives are possible. It identifies key strategies and actions for countries to adopt, and indicators to use to measure progress, if they want to meet the targets by 2010.

The WHO Regional Committee for Europe adopted the goal of eliminating indigenous measles transmission in 1998. In 2005, the Regional Committee expanded this commitment to include rubella and set a date for the elimination of both diseases by 2010. Although Member States did make progress, through the implementation of a strategic plan, the goal was not achieved. The WHO Regional Committee for Europe acknowledged at its sixtieth session (2010) that the regional goal of eliminating measles and rubella is achievable, and set a new target date of 2015. In the document Eliminating measles and rubella and preventing congenital rubella infection, WHO European Region strategic plan 2005-2010, key strategies are identified to meet the targets for interrupting transmission of indigenous measles and rubella and preventing congenital rubella infection. Strengthening surveillance systems by vigorous case investigation, including laboratory confirmation, is one of these key strategies. In line with the elimination goal, Surveillance guidelines for measles, rubella and congenitalrubella syndrome in the WHO European Region are intended to provide technical advice on the design and implementation of surveillance programmes. Surveillance indicators defined in these guidelines will be critical for assessing whether Member States have achieved the level of disease surveillance necessary for documenting elimination of indigenous measles and rubella transmission, and verifying that the Region's elimination objectives have been reached.

The Manual for the Surveillance of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases, updated through 2013, provides current guidelines for those directly involved in surveillance of vaccine-preventable diseases, especially personnel at the local health departments. For each of the vaccine-preventable diseases, this manual includes a chapter describing the importance of rapid case identification; the importance of surveillance; disease reduction goals; case definitions (including clinical description and case classifications); epidemiologically important data to be collected during case investigation; activities for enhancing surveillance; activities for case investigation; and activities for outbreak control. Other chapters include information on surveillance indicators; surveillance data analyses; reporting adverse events following vaccination; and enhancing surveillance. In addition, the manual includes a section reserved for insertion of state-specific guidance for VPD surveillance and extensive appendices. This manual was first developed in 1996 to provide general guidance to state and local health department personnel who are involved in surveillance activities for vaccine-preventable diseases. This manual answers commonly asked questions regarding the surveillance and reporting of vaccine-preventable diseases and provides information on enhancing existing surveillance systems.

"In this supplement, the papers have been organized under 6 topic headings. The first of these, 'Public Health Importance of Measles and Rubella, describes the global burden of disease due to measles and rubella and the tremendous impact on this disease burden during the vaccine era through the application of appropriate vaccination strategies, while noting the remaining unfinished agenda to complete the interruption of transmission of these diseases and their devastating effects. In the case of measles, documentation is provided of the major contribution of measles vaccination since 1990 toward reducing deaths among children aged 5 years worldwide. The next section, 'Feasibility of Measles Eradication, presents the results of various studies requested in 2008 by the Member States of the WHO to assess the feasibility of measles eradication. These studies include evaluation of the biological, technical, and operational feasibility of measles eradication; a comparative analysis of measles eradication with other previous and current eradication initiatives; issues related to availability of a sufficient global vaccine supply; and assessment of the impact of such an initiative on immunization services and health systems. The third section, 'Economic Studies, ' provides economic analyses at the country and global levels of the costeffectiveness and cost-benefit of measles eradication. These studies demonstrate that measles eradication is highly costeffective regardless of country income level, is cost-saving in those countries that have already eliminated measles, and compares favorably with almost any other investment in health. The fourth section, 'Measles Vaccine Safety and Effectiveness, ' reviews and highlights studies of the field effectiveness of measles-containing vaccines, persistence of measles antibodies following vaccination, the relative contributions of the first and second routine doses of measles vaccine and measles mass campaign doses to the observed public health impact of measles vaccination, the safety and immunogenicity of measles vaccination in human immunodeficiency virus-infected children, and progress toward improving injection safety in Africa catalyzed by the Measles Initiative. The fifth section, 'Regional and Country Experiences, ' offers a collection of country and regional reports on the epidemiology of measles and rubella, as well as articles about the progress towards achieving regional measles mortality reduction and elimination targets. The epidemiology of recent outbreaks of measles is described in detail. Issues regarding the programmatic and operational feasibility are addressed, and the successful experience and lessons learned in the Americas are highlighted. The final section of the supplement, 'Molecular Epidemiology and Laboratory Aspects of Measles and Rubella Surveillance, provides an overview of the expansion of the WHO Global Measles and Rubella Laboratory Network, with emphasis on advances in molecular epidemiology of measles and rubella, new testing procedures, and the challenges associated with laboratory testing in an elimination setting."--Page S2-S3.

These revised recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) on measles, mumps, and rubella prevention supersede recommendations published in 1989 and 1990. This statement summarizes the goals and current strategies for measles, rubella, and congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) elimination and for mumps reduction in the United States. Changes from previous recommendations include: Emphasis on the use of combined MMR vaccine for most indications; A change in the recommended age for routine vaccination to 12-15 months for the first dose of MMR and to 46 years for the second dose of MMR; A recommendation that all states take immediate steps to implement a two dose MMR requirement for school entry and any additional measures needed to ensure that all school-aged children are vaccinated with two doses of MMR by 2001; A clarification of the role of serologic screening to determine immunity; A change in the criteria for determining acceptable evidence of rubella immunity; A recommendation that all persons who work in health-care facilities have acceptable evidence of measles and rubella immunity; Changes in the recommended interval between administration of immunological and measles vaccination; and Updated information on adverse events and contraindications, particularly for persons with severe HIV infection, persons with a history of egg allergy or gelatin allergy persons with a history of thrombocytopenia, and persons receiving steroid therapy.

"Surveillance for measles elimination clearly demonstrated the substantial disease burden of rubella and congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) in the Western Hemisphere. In this context, in 2003 the Member States of the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) adopted the initiative to eliminate rubella and CRS from the Region by 2010. Once political commitment had been galvanized for rubella elimination, PAHO recommended that vaccination and surveillance strategies be executed with the primary aim of rapidly reducing the pool of susceptible individuals to rubella infection. This ultimately led to interruption of endemic transmission. The last endemic confirmed case of rubella in the Americas was reported in February 2009"--Page i.
