ABSTRACT:

Measles is a highly infectious viral disease, with complications in over 30 of cases, including deaths. Following successful eradication of small pox and elimination of polio, measles is viewed as the next candidate for global eradication. While the strategies and tools to fight measles elimination drive are available, suboptimal implementation of strategies compounded by lack of resources have been the major challenge to achieve the goal. The global resurgence of the disease in areas that were considered to be free of measles have shown how complacency to the disease can lead to large outbreak.
