It remains an important cause of death among young children globally despite the availability of a safe and effective vaccine.

Mumps was eliminated in the US. Smallpox variola occurred in two clinical varieties. Helen Petousis-Harris points to rotavirus and chickenpox as examples of diseases that have been virtually eliminated using vaccines that are very good at preventing severe disease quite good.

From a practical point of view measles seems most likely. After decades free of many crippling and deadly diseases thanks to the miracle of vaccines. The February session of Grand Rounds Measles Maintaining Disease Elimination and Enhancing Vaccine Confidence was viewed in 13 foreign countries 47 states the District of Columbia and the US Virgin Islands.

The virus spreads from person to person and can invade an infected persons brain and spinal cord causing paralysis. Similarly diseases such as tuberculosis leprosy and measles have been with us for several millennia. Vaccine-preventable conditions and diseases.

And despite all efforts immediate eradication is still not in sight. In 2010 and has now returned. Polio was eliminated in the United States with vaccination and continued use of polio vaccine has kept this country polio-free.

Smallpox was the first disease and so far the only infectious disease of humans to be eradicated by deliberate intervention. Modified mRNA vaccines have since been given to people for five years now. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows just how effective vaccines have proven in eradicating major diseases in the United States over the years.

In 1982 the incidence of measles mumps and rubella was 105 43 and 64 per 100000 population respectively but declined to 01 per 100000 population for all MMR diseases in 1995. Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin invented two polio vaccines in 1953 and 1961 respectively which eliminated polio from the United States and Canada in 1979 and rapidly lead to a large reduction of the disease in the Western Europe.
