Abstract

Dear Editor-in-chief, Measles is a highly contagious disease. By the end of 2013, 84% of children had received at least a single dose of measles vaccine by their second birthday, and 148 countries had included a second dose as part of routine immunization. In 2002, the Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education developed a comprehensive strategy to eliminate Measles including mass immunization campaign for people aged 5-25 years (1). Suburban areas where residents usually are nomads or migrants with low socio-economic status (SES), pose a serious threat to the success of any prevention program(2). There are a huge yet unknown number of Iranian Immigrants and illegal refugees living in suburbs of large cities in Iran, where low participation of families in vaccination services might be a challenge (3). In this report, we try to highlight the importance of migrants and Immigrants on the success of Measles vaccination programs. Briefly, after Measles and Rubella mass vaccination campaign on 2002 in all around Iran, reports demonstrated satisfactory coverage in vaccination status of migrants and slum residents living in suburbs of big cities (3). Accordingly, mortality rate for Measles had been sharply declined between 2002 and 2003, and been plateau afterwards as shown in (Figure. 1).
