Abstract
The marked decrease rubella was a result of inclusion of RCVs into EPI targeting children less than 2 years of age and achieving high level of 2-dose coverage. Rubella was reduced in absolute terms, and its epidemiology was changed to older cases with substantial inter-province variation. Ensuring full vaccination of school children and identifying strategies to reach adults with measles and rubella combined vaccines will be important to hasten elimination of rubella and prevent CRS outbreaks.
