In the United States, in 1964 and 1965, twenty thousand babies were born with Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS). Some eleven thousand babies were born deaf, 3,500 with impaired vision, and countless others with other health concerns. These babies' mothers had contracted the rubella virus during their pregnancies. Medical researchers set to work to formulate a vaccine against rubella and prevent a repeat of this calamity. The first rubella vaccine was licensed in 1969. BY 2004, with the help of the vaccine, rubella was eliminated in the United States.
