Overview
Congenital rubella syndrome is rare in developed countries due to their strong routine immunization programs . It continues to be endemic in many parts of the world.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Developed Countries
Since 2001, the annual numbers of rubella cases have been low in United States ( 23 in 2001, 18 in 2002, 7 in 2003, and 9 in 2004). Nearly half of these cases are among the people who are born outside of US.[1] Following vaccine licensure, the number of reported cases of CRS in the United States declined dramatically to <1 case per year or 4 cases total during 2005–2011 (CDC, unpublished data). In 28 (85%) of the 33 cases occurring during 1998–2011, the mother was born outside the United States. Of the 33 CRS cases occurring during this time, 16 (48%) were known importations (CDC, unpublished data).
Worldwide
Congenital rubella syndrome continues to be endemic in many parts of the world. It is estimated that more than 100,000 infants are born with CRS annually worldwide.[2] According to a survey of the member countries in the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of countries that have incorporated rubella-containing vaccines into their routine national immunization programs increased from 83 (13% of the birth cohort) in 1996 to 130 countries (40% of the birth cohort) in 2010.
