The person taken out of his first space flight due to exposure to German measles was astronaut David Scott. He was scheduled to fly on Apollo 1 but was replaced after the illness, which posed a health risk. Ultimately, Scott flew on Apollo 9 instead, where he contributed to important tests of the Lunar Module.
He had been exposed to another astronaut that had the measles. Because Ken had never had the measles the flight surgeon was concerned about Ken contracting the illness while in space. He therefore grounded Ken, prohibiting him from flying the Apollo 13 mission.
Ken Mattingly had to miss the Apollo 13 mission because he was exposed to German measles, which was a concern due to the risk of spreading the infection to the other crew members. Mattingly was replaced by Jack Swigert just days before the mission launch.
Ken Mattingly was replaced by John L. Swigert Jr. as the command module pilot for Apollo 13 due to concerns about Mattingly's potential exposure to German measles (rubella). Swigert was chosen as a last-minute replacement because he had already been exposed to the illness and was therefore immune, minimizing the risk of an in-flight medical emergency.
The original Apollo 13 crew had to be replaced due to health concerns. Ken Mattingly was removed from the flight because he was exposed to German measles, and Jack Swigert took his place. Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell, and Stuart Roosa were then assigned as the new Apollo 14 crew.
The flight was commanded by James A. Lovell with John L. "Jack" Swigert as Command Module pilot and Fred W. Haise as Lunar Module pilot. Swigert was a late replacement for the original CM pilot Ken Mattingly, who was grounded by the flight surgeon after exposure to German measles.
Ken Mattingly was removed from the Apollo 13 mission due to concerns about exposure to German measles. He had been potentially exposed to a crew member's illness, and NASA decided to replace him with Jack Swigert as a precaution to ensure the health and safety of the crew. This decision ultimately had no negative impact on the mission's outcome, as the team successfully handled the crisis that arose during the flight.

In the Apollo 13 space flight astronaut Thomas K. Mat tingly was grounded as he had measles. In a way he must have thanked his stars.
Wann ist deine flug? (:
The first major problem occured before the flight; the Command Module (Ken Mattingly) pilot was grounded by flight doctors after being exposed to German Measles; Mattingly was not immune and it was considered too risky for him to fly. Mattingly was replaced by John Swigert. The most serious problem, of course, was the explosion of a fuel cell oxygen tank which made the service module too risky to use for the remainder of the mission.
