Definition: Achievement of all VPD control, elimination, and eradication targets that are based on incidence or prevalence measures.
  • Numerator: Number of WHO Member States that met the VPD target
  • Denominator: The number of countries with an endorsed VPD target** based on incidence or prevalence measures (194 WHO member states)
**Only 147 countries had measles target during the baseline and in the year 2021. Since the year 2022, all countries (194 member states) have the target. In the case of Rubella, only 126 countries have endorsed a target starting from the baseline to the year 2024.That is, total of 68 member states in the AFR and EMR do not have the target. Four countries (Egypt, Bahrain, Iran, and Oman) of the 68 countries do not have target; however, they are categorized under countries with achieved and sustained targets.
Method of estimation:

The number of WHO Member States that met the control, elimination, or eradication target will be reported by established regional verification and certification commissions, or verification committees; acknowledging not all WHO Regions and/or countries have an endorsed, prevalence or incidence based, elimination target for rubella at the time the data were reported.

Data source: Verification, certification, and disease-specific committee reports.
