The country%27s journey toward elimination has been marked by phased progress%26mdash;early local success, national scale-up of interventions, and periodic resurgence.%3C/span%3E%3C/p%3E%0A%3Cp class=%22pf0%22%3E%3Cspan class=%22cf1%22%3EVanuatu%26rsquo;s first elimination success was achieved on%26nbsp;%3C/span%3E%3Cspan class=%22cf1%22%3EAneityum%3C/span%3E%3Cspan class=%22cf1%22%3E Island in %3C/span%3E%3Cspan class=%22cf1%22%3ETafea%3C/span%3E%3Cspan class=%22cf1%22%3E Province in the early 1990s through a combination of mass drug administration (MDA), insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), and strong community-based surveillance.
