Rubella vaccine is a vaccine used to prevent rubella. [1] Effectiveness begins about two weeks after a single dose and around 95% of people become immune. Countries with high rates of immunization no longer see cases of rubella or congenital rubella syndrome .
1975: Rubella vaccination for 11–13 years old girls and seronegative mothers. 1982: Two doses of MMR vaccination at 14–18 months and 6 years of age were introduced in the national childhood vaccination programme. 2009: Rotavirus vaccine introduced at 2, 3 and 5 months to all children (September 2009)
Due in part to the VFC program, there have been no racial/ethnic disparities in measles-mumps-rubella vaccination in the United States since 2005, and racial disparities for other vaccinations have declined or become absent entirely, depending upon the vaccination and the racial group studied. [4]

The MMRV vaccine, a combined MMR and varicella vaccine, simplifies the administration of the vaccines. [14] One 2008 study indicated a rate of febrile seizures of 9 per 10,000 vaccinations with MMRV, as opposed to 4 per 10,000 for separate MMR and varicella shots; U.S. health officials known as the ACIP therefore do not express a preference for use of MMRV vaccine over separate injections.
Rubella is usually spread from one person to the next through the air via coughs of people who are infected. [3] [4] People are infectious during the week before and after the appearance of the rash. [1] Babies with CRS may spread the virus for more than a year. [1] Only humans are infected. [3] Insects do not spread the disease. [1]
