The objective of rubella immunization programs
Rubella Prevention -- Recommendations of the Immunization Practices Advisory Committee (ACIP)
By far the most important consequences of rubella are the miscarriages, stillbirths, fetal anomalies, and therapeutic abortions that result from rubella infection in early pregnancy, especially in the first trimester. Preventing fetal infection and consequent congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) is the objective of rubella immunization programs.
