As shown in the slide, by 1972 more than 50% of children in all
age-groups were vaccinated. Furthermore, in 1977 the National Immunization Initiative and in 1978 the Measles
Elimination Program were undertaken which increased vaccination uptake more. Since 1980,
more than 95% of children entering school in the USA are vaccinated for rubella. A programme to vaccinate susceptible women of childbearing age was also established. (Source of data: a/ Preblud SR, Serdula MK, Frank JA, Brandling-Bennett AD, Hinman AR.
