"Measles eliminated in the UK for the first time"
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/09/27/measles-eliminated-uk-first-time/
Elimination of measles or rubella can be verified once a country has sustained "interruption of endemic transmission" for at least 36 months, according to the World Health Organization.
Health officials said rates have now reached the recommended 95 per cent coverage level in five-year-olds.
The European Regional Verification Commission said the UK has now achieved elimination status as of 2016 for measles.
