In 1999 in Costa Rica, a large rubella outbreak occurred among persons aged 15-45 years. In response, the Ministry of Health adopted the goal of eliminating rubella and congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). In 2001, a nationwide vaccination campaign reached approximately 1.6 million (>95%) persons aged 15-39 years. This report highlights successful aspects of the campaign, including effective planning, cooperation among government ministries, social mobilization, the use of house-to-house vaccination teams, daily coverage reports from local staff, vaccine safety monitoring, and strategies for ensuring a sufficient national blood supply. This campaign will strengthen measles eradication and lead to rubella and CRS elimination in Costa Rica.
1999年，哥斯达黎加15至45岁人群中发生了大规模风疹疫情。作为应对措施，卫生部制定了消除风疹和先天性风疹综合征（CRS）的目标。2001年，一场全国性的疫苗接种运动覆盖了约160万（超过95%）15至39岁的人群。本报告重点介绍了该运动的成功之处，包括有效的规划、政府各部委之间的合作、社会动员、挨家挨户的疫苗接种团队的使用、当地工作人员的每日覆盖报告、疫苗安全监测以及确保国家充足血液供应的策略。这场运动将加强麻疹消除工作，并在哥斯达黎加实现风疹和先天性风疹综合征的消除。
