Why is the rubella vaccine important

Mrmed.in25 Jun, 2024Health

Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent rubella. The rubella vaccine is often administered as part of the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine. This combination vaccine provides immunity against all three diseases and is typically given in two doses during childhood. The first dose is administered at 12-15 months of age, and the second dose at 4-6 years of age.
