Elimination of endemic measles and rubella transmission in Oman
Oman fulfills the criteria for measles and rubella elimination. All the five lines of evidence were verified and Oman was certified to have eliminated measles and rubella in 2019. After 3 years of post-elimination, Oman has continued to maintain its elimination status successfully. High population immunity and quality surveillance resulted in sustaining the elimination during the post-elimination period.
