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)
The MMR vaccine is administered by a subcutaneous injection, the first dose typically at twelve months of age. [12] The second dose may be given as early as one month after the first dose. [ 34 ] The second dose is a dose to produce immunity in the small number of persons (2–5%) who fail to develop measles immunity after the first dose.
Rubella infections are prevented by active immunization programs using live attenuated virus vaccines. Two live attenuated virus vaccines, RA 27/3 and Cendehill strains, were effective in the prevention of adult disease. However, their use in prepubertal females did not produce a significant fall in the overall incidence rate of CRS in the UK.

The MMR vaccine contains 1,000 TCID 50 measles, 12,500 TCID 50 mumps and 1,000 TCID 50 rubella live attenuated viruses. [ 13 ] Many modern vaccines are made of only the parts of the pathogen necessary to invoke an immune response (a subunit vaccine ) – for example just the surface proteins of the virus, or only the polysaccharide coating of a ...

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.
