Despite the progress, several challenges hinder the elimination of measles and rubella:
Vaccine Hesitancy: Misinformation and skepticism about vaccines can reduce vaccination rates, leading to outbreaks. Health Infrastructure: Inadequate healthcare infrastructure in some regions can limit access to vaccines and hinder disease surveillance. Conflict and Displacement: Areas affected by conflict and displacement often face disruptions in vaccination services, increasing the risk of outbreaks. Funding: Sustained financial support is needed to maintain and expand immunization programs and disease surveillance efforts.
