Rubella virus vaccine is used to prevent rubella infection (German measles). It works by stimulating the body to produce antibodies to rubella. Rubella is a highly contagious disease that is caused by a virus. In children, the disease is usually mild with fever and a rash.
So that the children do not get measels, mumps or rubella.
Rubella is a contagious infection that leaves a rash on your skin. Rubella is also called German Measles. The rash looks like either pink or light red spots, which can form evenly colored patches. Rubella can lead to swollen lymph nodes in other parts of the body, and pain and swelling in the joints. Rubella in pregnant woman can cause congenital rubella syndrome. Children who are infected with rubella pre-birth are at risk for many things such as growth and mental retardation, malformations of the heart and eyes, deafness, and liver, spleen, and bone marrow problems. It's very serious for pregnant women diagnosed with rubella get a vaccine immediately.
Hmm nothing much if you're not pregnant. It's just that when you're bearing a child for the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, if you were to get infected by Rubella, chances of your child having Rubella for life is high. If you had the shot, you wouldn't get affected by Rubella and your future child won't face any problems at all. It's best to go safe :)
