Evaluate the differences in the dengue case fatality rate among the different subregions of the Americas in the period 2014-2023 and explore their relationship with the human development index (HDI) in each subregion.
Longitudinal ecological study based on open-access data from each country, grouped into the corresponding subregions to calculate the different indicators. In addition, a linear regression was performed between the mean case fatality rate in each region and the weighted regional HDI.
The performance of health systems is related to ensuring the right to health, an important component of human rights that includes the right to health protection. Regulatory action by the state aims to reduce risks to health and thus help improve health system performance, particularly with respect to the principles of comprehensiveness and equity.

This special issue brings together the experiences of countries in the Americas throughout the elimination and post-elimination period of measles, rubella, and congenital rubella syndrome between 2013 and 2024.
An event supposedly attributable to vaccination or immunization (ESAVI) is any unfavorable and unintended health situation (sign, symptom, abnormal laboratory finding, or disease) that occurs after vaccination or immunization and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the vaccination process or the vaccine. One of the essential components of a safe vaccination program is surveillance for ESAVIs.
