Decades of collaboration between governments, aid agencies, scientists, healthcare workers & parents got us to where we are today–a world where we’ve eradicated smallpox, almost eradicated polio and made historic progress against 30+ vaccine-preventable diseases. #HumanlyPossible

Vaccines don’t just save lives—they transform them. ➡️ For parents it means peace of mind. ➡️ For communities it means healthier children. ➡️ For nations it means stronger economies. What do #vaccines mean to you? 🛡️

It's #HumanlyPossible: Vaccination has accounted for 40% of the improvement in infant survival worldwide, and more children now live to see their first birthday and beyond than at any other time in human history. #Measles #vaccines alone account for 60% of these lives saved.

#Measles is not only one of the most contagious diseases, but can also lead to complications such as pneumonia, blindness, diarrhea, and encephalitis, as well as death. Thankfully, the MMR vaccine is one of the safest around. x.com/NFIDVaccines/s…

"I was thrilled with the thought of being able to help thousands, millions of people." Since 2000, #measles vaccination has saved an estimated 60.3 million lives—more than any other vaccine. pbs.org/newshour/show/…

We published this data from World Health Organization (WHO) and CDC to our blog in 2023. Fast-forward to 2025 and multiple countries are battling outbreaks, including the US which has recorded 505 cases & 2 child deaths in Texas alone. At this rate, urgency is a understatement. measlesrubellapartnership.org/mrp-partner-st…

"Even at our current vaccination levels, it's possible for #measles to become endemic again." M&RP and its partners are committed to stopping one of the most contagious diseases in its tracks, before preventable complications—and even more disease—follow.x.com/AmerMedicalAss…

#Measles is so contagious that if a child with measles walked into a classroom, EVERY unvaccinated child in that classroom would most certainly be infected as well. However, "even a small uptick" in MMR #vaccines could prevent millions of infections. x.com/ABC/status/191…

“The paradox of the pandemic is that while #vaccines against COVID-19 were developed in record time and deployed in the largest vaccination campaign in history, routine immunization programs (against deadly diseases like #measles) were badly disrupted.” measlesrubellapartnership.org/nearly-40-mill…

Our partners Shot@Life are raising awareness of the global burden of #measles by sharing stories from around the world of those impacted by the disease, as well as the stories of the individuals and groups who are working to eliminate it with #vaccines. measlesrubellapartnership.org/storymaps-the-…

Our partners Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, UNICEF & World Health Organization (WHO) are sounding the alarm: vaccine-preventable diseases are making a dangerous comeback, with #measles at the forefront. Several East Asian countries are seeing a sharp increase in cases, signaling falling #vaccine coverage. unicef.org/eap/press-rele…

This is huge—World Health Organization (WHO) passed the first-ever #PandemicAgreement at #WHA78! We know #vaccineswork, but coverage has yet to return to pre-pandemic levels. As a result, disruptive outbreaks have compromised progress & affected 100+ countries in recent years. x.com/WHO/status/192…

While the world has seen the worst continued backsliding in global immunization coverage in 30 years, we are advancing #Measles and #Rubella Strategic Framework 2030—an ambitious global strategy to maximize the lifesaving impact of #vaccines.

#Vaccineswork, and #measles vaccines specifically save more lives than any other. Yet cases are on the rise, threatening decades of progress. Without sustained attention & proactive measures, the spread will continue—quickly & with devastating consequences.x.com/macleans/statu…

At #WHA78, global leaders met to address the challenge of surging #measles outbreaks, and the critical need to close immunity gaps. Details on our blog, including moving testimony from a mother who lost her daughter due to #rubella complications: measlesrubellapartnership.org/power-of-preve…
