... I would like to especially thank all the unnamed heroes who made this dream a reality: the health workers, who day-in and day-out have vaccinated children not only in health facilities, but also in the most difficult-to-access areas of each country. Let me also thank those who have been dedicated to completing the noble task of researching each case until interrupting the endemic transmission of this virus, even under extremely difficult conditions... Now is the moment to implement all the necessary actions to avoid the reestablishment of endemic transmission of this deadly virus: we must strengthen epidemiological surveillance systems and maintain high vaccination coverage against measles and rubella through a strong routine immunization program and high quality vaccination campaigns. This will only be possible if within the Member States and PAHO, we sustain our commitment and leadership, as well as a wide coordination with our partners, allowing health workers to continue with their tireless efforts to improve the health of our populations.
