Vaccination against rubella has been instrumental in controlling the spread of the virus and preventing congenital rubella syndrome. The MMR vaccine, containing live attenuated viruses for measles, mumps, and rubella, is administered to children as part of routine immunization programs. Achieving high vaccination coverage, especially among women of childbearing age, is crucial for preventing rubella in pregnancy and subsequently eliminating congenital rubella syndrome. Efforts to eliminate rubella and CRS have been part of broader public health initiatives. The World Health Organization (WHO) has set goals for rubella elimination in multiple regions, with the aim of reducing rubella and CRS incidence to as close to zero as possible. Measles and rubella vaccination campaigns, surveillance systems, and strengthened immunization programs contribute to the global effort to eliminate rubella. Ongoing research focuses on improving rubella surveillance, understanding the duration of immunity post-vaccination, and addressing challenges in reaching vulnerable populations. The collaboration between governments, international organizations, and the scientific community continues to play a pivotal role in advancing rubella elimination efforts, with the ultimate goal of eradicating congenital rubella syndrome worldwide.
