| Americas region is declared the world’s first to eliminate endemic transmission of rubella | |
 |
Rubella is a contagious viral disease that can cause multiple birth defects as well as fetal death when contracted by women during pregnancy. "This achievement culminates a 15-year effort that involved widespread administration of the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) throughout the Western Hemisphere. The announcement comes as 45 countries and territories of the Americas are participating in the 13th annual Vaccination Week in the Americas (April 25 to May 2)." This follows the regional eradication of smallpox in 1971 and the elimination of polio in 1994.
