The measles elimination effort, which began in 1978, has made dramatic contributions to the virtual elimination of rubella and congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) and the control of mumps in the USA. The use of combined MMR vaccine has resulted in immunization levels at school entry in excess of 95% against each of these diseases. As a result, record low levels of rubella, CRS, and mumps were reported in 1984. Continued use of MMR, along with improved surveillance and aggressive response to outbreaks, can be expected to eliminate rubella and mumps as well as measles.
始于1978年的消除麻疹行动，为美国几乎消除风疹和先天性风疹综合征（CRS）以及控制腮腺炎做出了巨大贡献。联合使用麻腮风疫苗使得入学儿童针对这些疾病的免疫水平均超过95%。因此，1984年报告的风疹、先天性风疹综合征和腮腺炎病例数创历史新低。继续使用麻腮风疫苗，同时加强监测并对疫情采取积极应对措施，有望消除风疹、腮腺炎以及麻疹。
