Following the landmark of smallpox elimination in 1980 a series of principles (biological, economic and socio-political) were established to consider the feasibility of disease eradication. In this article, it will be developed a study of three viruses that can be eradicated by vaccination: poliomyelitis, rubella and measles, and its challenges of elimination. Poliomyelitis has been eradicated from most of the planet, and the target of his elimination has been set for 2018, although it is endemic in regions of Africa and Asia. On the other hand, the administra- tion of the MMR vaccine has reduced the incidence of measles and rubella, but mumps hasn’t been reduced as much as the others ones do. The World Health Organization (WHO) is leading a Strategic Plan to achieve a world without rubella and measles. Therefore, if the necessary efforts are made, we can attend in the coming years the eradication of poliomyelitis, rubella and measles.
