Abstract:
Measles incidence has increased and measles immunization coverage has stagnated in recent years, resulting in difficulties to reach measles elimination goal. Public health measures for 2019-nCoV pandemic also caused a significant drop in measles cases, but the global immunization coverage further declined, vaccine hesitancy increased and surveillance weakened during 2020-2021. This paper summarizes the latest progress in measles elimination in different areas, as well as the current difficulties to be overcome with the emphasis on the influence of 2019-nCoV pandemic on measles elimination to provide reference for accurate assessment of measles epidemic situation and effective prevention and control of measles in the context of 2019-nCoV pandemic.
