Rubella vaccination of children in the United States has resulted in a shift in the age of affected and susceptible individuals toward older age groups. In an effort to reduce the incidence of congenital rubella syndrome, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices have recommended rubella vaccine for all male and female medical personnel who might contract and spread rubella to pregnant women. A survey of hospitals and outpatient practices in Little Rock, Arkansas, revealed extremely low compliance with the recommendation, suggesting the need for further education or legislation on rubella immunization for health care personnel.
美国儿童风疹疫苗接种已导致受影响和易感个体的年龄向年龄更大的群体转移。为降低先天性风疹综合征的发病率，美国儿科学会和免疫实践咨询委员会已建议为所有可能感染风疹并将其传播给孕妇的男女医务人员接种风疹疫苗。对阿肯色州小石城的医院和门诊机构进行的一项调查显示，对该建议的依从性极低，这表明需要对医护人员进行关于风疹免疫的进一步教育或立法。
