Background: Rubella: mild childhood infectious
disease Congenital Rubella Syndrome:
severe consequence when pregnant women are infected
Vaccination status: 1969 – now WHO recommendations on
Rubella/CRS control
China Demographic Model Derived 1965 age distribution
from 1987 age distribution data. Used the birth/death rate from
1965-1992 as the scaling factor for fertility and death rate.
Interpolate fertility and death rate between 1992 and 2000 data.
Used Leslie matrix population model

S E I R
The epidemiological model:
58 age groups: 0,1,2,…,49, 50-54, 55-59, …, 75-79, 80-84, 85+
Used proportionate mixing
Parameter values: average passive immunity period is 6
months (182.5 days) average latent period is 10 days average infectious period is 12 days force of infection values: .20 for 0, .24
for 1-4, .27 for 5-9, .15 for 10-14, .10 for 15-49, .04 for 50-64, .03 for 65+
Conclusions: One child policy => changing
demographics => average age of infection increases => more rubella in pregnant women.
Between 2005 and 2050, CRS may increase by a 3 to 5 factor if there is no rubella vaccination.
Vaccination Strategies Vaccinate 1 year old children Vaccinate 12 year old girls Mass campaign: target at 2-14 year
old Mass campaign: target at 2-14 year
old girls Mass campaign: 15-40 year old women Combinations of above
Conclusions (cont.): Routine vaccination of 1 year olds
decreases rubella cases CRS cases increases unless > 40% are
vaccinated. CRS cases would not decrease
significantly until at least 70% are vaccinated.
CRS will be eliminated if >80% are vaccinated.
Conclusions (cont.): Routine vaccinations of 12 yr old
girls are effective per vaccination in reducing CRS
This strategy will never lead to elimination of rubella.
Conclusions (cont.) If the achievable vaccination rate is
not high, use the strategy of vaccinating 12 years old girls for direct protection.
If the achievable vaccination rate can reach a high level, use the strategy of vaccinating 1 years old to eliminate the disease
The threshold for switching: about 80%
Conclusions (cont.): A mass campaign of vaccinating 15-
40 year old women can reduce CRS cases during the following 10-20 years.
A mass campaign of vaccinating 2-14 year old children only can lead to large oscillations in CRS cases with peaks above the no-vaccination levels.
Predicted crs cases:2005-2050
