Current rubella vaccination programmes, devised when knowledge of vaccine characteristics was still incomplete, have not been fully successful in protecting those at maximum risk of the sequelae of rubella infection. Now that more is known of vaccine characteristics and the impact of the initially chosen strategies has been assessed, it is time to modify immunisation strategies, the priorities being first to protect women of childbearing age, and then to interrupt transmission of rubella.
当前的风疹疫苗接种计划是在对疫苗特性的了解仍不完整时制定的，在保护那些面临风疹感染后遗症最大风险的人群方面并未完全成功。既然现在对疫苗特性有了更多了解，并且对最初选定策略的影响也进行了评估，那么就到了修改免疫策略的时候了，优先事项首先是保护育龄妇女，然后是阻断风疹传播。
