Measles, Rubella and Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS) Country Profile

Uruguay

Introduction

The measles and rubella country profile aims to facilitate the analysis of data compiled in the last five years. This profile was only developed for those countries who officially reported vaccination coverage and case by case surveillance and laboratory data to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). There may be minor differences in the country profile if the country has updated data that was not reported to PAHO. The country profile will be automatically updated twice per year: at the end of April (surveillance data) and at the end of September (vaccination coverage data).

Note

The latest update dates for this country profile are available in the Update dates section.
