来自区域麻疹监测系统的数据记录了风疹病毒在美洲许多不同国家的广泛传播。针对该疾病的持续地方性发病率和该区域风疹大流行的可能性，泛美卫生组织疫苗可预防疾病技术咨询小组于1997年建议实施一项区域倡议，以加强风疹和先天性风疹综合征的预防工作。本文总结并强调了在讲英语的加勒比地区以及智利、哥斯达黎加和巴西加速风疹控制和CRS预防方面取得的进展。正在产生有用的知识，以便在其他地方采用类似的风疹战略。调查结果还证明了实施所建议战略的可行性及其对疾病负担的迅速影响。
Data from the regional measles surveillance system have documented widespread rubella virus circulation in many different countries in the Americas. In response to the ongoing endemic incidence of the disease and the potential for a major rubella epidemics in the region, the Pan American Health Organization Technical Advisory Group on Vaccine Preventable Diseases recommended the implementation of a regional initiative to strengthen rubella and congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) preventive efforts in 1997. This article summarizes and highlights the progress toward accelerated rubella control and CRS prevention in the English-speaking Caribbean and in Chile, Costa Rica, and Brazil. Useful knowledge is being generated for the adaptation of similar rubella strategies elsewhere. The findings also document the feasibility of implementing the recommended strategies and their rapid impact on disease burden.
