In 1980 the reported incidence rate of rubella decreased to its lowest level since rubella became nationally notifiable. This represented a decrease of 67% from 1979, and a decrease of 93% from 1969, the year of rubella vaccine licensure.

*EXCLUDES UNKNOWN AGES

60+

In 1980, the reported age-specific incidence rate of rubella decreased for all age groups compared to 1979, with the decrease seen greatest for the 15-19-year-old age group. This resulted in a dramatic change in the age-specific characteristics. From 1976 through 1979, more than 70% of the reported cases of rubella were 15 years of age. In 1980, only 47% of the cases were in this age group. Reflecting this decrease in the incidence rate of rubella in older individuals, the highest age-specific incidence rate was for 0-4 year olds. The proportion of cases with unknown age was 24% for 1980, a decrease from 32% for 1979.

The marked increase in the number of reported isolates during the warmer months suggests that conditions present during this time of year contribute to the spread of Salmonella.
