What is the percentage of deaths from German measles?

Answer 1

German measles, or rubella, is generally considered a mild viral infection, especially in children. The mortality rate is very low, typically estimated at less than 0.1% in the general population. However, it can pose serious risks during pregnancy, leading to congenital rubella syndrome, which can result in severe birth defects or stillbirth. Vaccination has greatly reduced the incidence and associated risks of the disease.
