Measles

Measles surged worldwide in 2019, reaching almost 870,000 cases, the highest number reported in 23 years.

Global measles deaths have climbed nearly 50% since 2016, claiming an estimated 207,500 lives in 2019 alone.

We need champions around the world to reach the 146M children who may not get the measles vaccine due to paused immunization campaigns because of COVID-19.
