Abstract

Abstract: This study assessed the epidemiological characteristics of 45 congenital rubella syndrome cases in Japan following the 2012–2013 rubella epidemic. Rubella still poses significant health burdens and the uptake of rubella-containing vaccines among women of childbearing age should be improved.
