Abstract：Objective To investigate the epidemiological features of rubella in Harbin City during 2011-2015 so as to provide evidence for rubella control. Methods Descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the data of rubella cases reported by the Measles Surveillance Information Reporting and Management System in China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. Results The total incidence of rubella in Harbin City showed a descending trend. The incidence peaks appeared from April to June, and the number of the cases accounted for 81.70% of the total cases. The incidence rate of urban areas was higher than that of rural areas. The maximal incidence was found in the age groups of 15- and 20- years, with the total incidence rates of 5.70/100,000 and 4.87/100,000 respectively. A total of 22 pregnant women with suspected rubella were detected, and 11 were confirmed by laboratory test. Conclusions The incidence of rubella in Harbin City displays a declining tendency due to the immunization with rubella-containing vaccine. Adults have become the high risk group; and hence, making them the focus of vaccination is very necessary. Prevention and control strategies should be developed according to the epidemiological characteristics of rubella in Harbin City so as to reduce the occurrence of adult rubella and congenital rubella syndrome.
