Journalists and media professionals seeking information about global measles and rubella vaccination and containment efforts are encouraged to contact James Noe from the Measles & Rubella Partnership communications team.

The Partnership brings together leading global health organizations, technical experts, and country partners working to eliminate measles and rubella and protect children worldwide through vaccination and strengthened immunization systems. Since 2000, measles vaccination efforts supported by global partners have helped prevent tens of millions of deaths and dramatically reduce the global burden of these highly contagious diseases.

The Measles & Rubella Partnership works with governments, public health agencies, and international organizations to expand access to vaccines, respond to outbreaks, and support countries in their efforts to eliminate measles and rubella. These diseases remain among the most contagious viral infections and can cause severe illness, death, and lifelong disability—especially among children who are not protected through routine immunization.
