          Abstract

          En mayo 2006, Bolivia llevó a cabo una campaña nacional de vacunación en su población de 15 a 39 años para eliminar la rubéola y el síndrome de rubéola congénita del país. Durante seis semanas el país sumó los esfuerzos de los políticos, aliados nacionales e internacionales, trabajadores de salud y organizaciones sociales para alcanzar la meta. La cobertura nacional validada por una encuesta post campaña fue de 94%, sin diferencias significativas de edad, sexo o en la distribución rural urbana. La encuesta probó también un alto nivel de confianza de la población en los servicios de vacunación y el rol importante del personal de salud para informar a la población en el medio rural. Se demuestra que actividades de vacunación masivas en la población adulta y de ambos sexos pueden ser exitosas con una preparación minuciosa y un plan de comunicación estudiado.

          New horizons in the control of rubella and prevention of congenital rubella syndrome in the Americas.

          Data from the regional measles surveillance system have documented widespread rubella virus circulation in many different countries in the Americas. In response to the ongoing endemic incidence of the disease and the potential for a major rubella epidemics in the region, the Pan American Health Organization Technical Advisory Group on Vaccine Preventable Diseases recommended the implementation of a regional initiative to strengthen rubella and congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) preventive efforts in 1997. This article summarizes and highlights the progress toward accelerated rubella control and CRS prevention in the English-speaking Caribbean and in Chile, Costa Rica, and Brazil. Useful knowledge is being generated for the adaptation of similar rubella strategies elsewhere. The findings also document the feasibility of implementing the recommended strategies and their rapid impact on disease burden.
