• Description:
  As a member country of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the United States of America (hereafter the United States or U.S.) is committed to the goal of sustaining measles, rubella, and congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) elimination. Measles and rubella were declared eliminated in the United States in 2000 and 2004, respectively. To verify elimination of measles, rubella, and CRS, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has prepared annual reports for the PAHO Measles and Rubella Regional Monitoring and Re-Verification Commission (RVC); the PAHO RVC first verified rubella and CRS elimination in 2015 and measles elimination in 2016 in the United States 1. PAHO serves as the Secretariat for the RVC. Prior to submission to PAHO, the annual reports are reviewed by an independent National Sustainability Committee which makes an independent judgment regarding the ongoing elimination of measles, rubella, and CRS in the United States.
