What Is Rubella?
8. Prevention
Rubella is very rare in much of the world thanks to vaccines. In many countries, the vaccine is administered to children as a part of vaccination programs. Not everywhere has vaccine programs, however, so people should be mindful of the need for vaccinations before travelling to certain parts of the world.
If you are expecting to travel, you should speak with your doctor to ask whether you need vaccinations. This is especially the case for women that are pregnant, or hoping to get pregnant. There has been a recent resurgence of the disease in many parts of the world because some people are reluctant to vaccinate their children.
