Measles Initiative

The Measles Initiative is a global health effort aimed at reducing and eliminating measles through widespread vaccination campaigns, improved healthcare infrastructure, and public awareness. It unites organizations like the WHO, UNICEF, and CDC to improve vaccine coverage, especially in countries with low immunization rates. By preventing measles, a highly contagious disease, the initiative helps save lives, reduce complications, and strengthen health systems. Its goal is to reach vulnerable populations, eliminate measles transmission, and ultimately protect communities worldwide from outbreaks and long-term health impacts.
