In 2000, the measles virus reached elimination status in the United States. Elimination is not the same as eradication, which indicates that a disease has been extinguished worldwide. Elimination means a disease is no longer native to a country or locality, but cases could still exist because of infected people traveling to that country. Despite this definition, the recent outbreak doesn’t look good for sustaining elimination, as more and more unvaccinated people contract the disease.
