We travel to Poona in
India where the very latest rubella vaccines are
under development and we find out about the new
methods of delivery and production. We filmed in the
Dominican Republic in Central America where CRS is a
major cause of disabilities. It's estimated that if
rubella was brought under control in the Dominican
Republic, it would save the country $65 million
dollars. Rubella appears as a mild rash, but when
caught by a pregnant woman, it has devastating
consequences on the unborn child. With congenital
rubella syndrome, or CRS, the child can end up deaf,
partially blind and with heart and brain defects. In
many poorer, developing countries CRS is a major
problem.
Part of a 28 x
25-minute documentary series produced for the BBC.
