The Full Story
The first rubella vaccine was licensed in the United States in 1969. Rubella is usually mild in children and adults, but infection during pregnancy can cause congenital rubella syndrome, leading to birth defects. The vaccine became especially important for preventing outbreaks that endangered unborn babies. It was later incorporated into the MMR vaccine, helping reduce rubella dramatically in countries with high coverage.
