Rubella is an infectious viral infection that occurs most often in children. There is no specific treatment for rubella but the disease is preventable by vaccination.

1. What is Rubella?

Rubella is an acute, infectious infection caused by viruses. Most people with rubella often have symptoms such as mild fever, sore throat and rash, headache, lymphadenopathy, red eye pain and discomfort. Rubella can cause miscarriages or serious birth defects in the fetus if a pregnant woman is infected.

Rubella virus is transmitted by airborne droplets when an infected person sneezes or coughs. Humans are the only hosts of this virus

2. Congenital rubella syndrome (CRS)

Children with congenital rubella syndrome may have hearing impairments, eye, heart and other lifelong disabilities such as autism, diabetes mellitus and thyroid dysfunction.

The highest risk of CRS is in countries where women of child age do not have immunity to the disease on the grounds that it may be due to not being vaccinated or having had rubella during pregnancy. Without vaccine intervention, up to 4 babies in 1,000 live births are born with CRS.

When a woman is infected with rubella virus early in pregnancy, the likelihood of transmiting the virus to the fetus is 90%. This can cause the death of the fetus, or it can cause CRS. Infants with CRS may excrete the virus for a year or more.

Symptoms of rubella in children include rash, fever (<39 ° C), buồn nôn và bị viêm kết mạc nhẹ, các tuyến bạch huyết sưng sau tai và ở cổ là đặc điểm lâm sàng đặc trưng nhất.

3. Vaccinate children with rubella as recommended by CDC

Rubella can be prevented with the MMR vaccine. This vaccine simultaneously protects the body from measles, mums and rubella. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that all children get two doses of the MMR vaccine, starting with the first dose between 12 and 15 months of age, and the second from 4 to 6 years old.

4. Which children should be vaccinated against MMR?

Cdc recommends that all children get two doses of the MMR vaccine, starting with the first dose between 12 and 15 months of age, and the second from 4 to 6 years old.

Children under the age of 12 months may not respond to the measles component of the vaccine, as antibodies against measles are passed to the child in the child's retest system. The safety and effectiveness of the quail and rubella vaccine has not been determined in children under 12 months of age.

5. Which children should not be vaccinated against MMR?

  • Children who are severely allergic to any part of this vaccine, may be advised not to get vaccinated.
  • Children have a weakened immune system due to diseases such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, or are in the process of conducting medical treatments such as radiotherapy, immuno therapy, steroids, or chemotherapy.
  • Have parents, brothers or sisters with a history of immune system problems.
  • Children who have recently received blood transfusions or other blood products may be advised to postpone MMR vaccination for 3 months or more.
  • The child has received any other live vaccine in the last 4 weeks. Live vaccines that are injected too close together may not work well.

6. Harm of rubella

Rubella used to be a common disease that occurred mainly in young children in the United States. The last pandemic occurred between 1964 and 1965, when there were an estimated 12.5 million cases of rubella. With the success of vaccination programs, rubella has been excluded from the United States since 2004. However, rubella is still popular in some other countries. As a result, some uninfected people have been carriers of rubella after they have returned to the United States and transmitted it to others.

According to World Health Organization statistics, the number of countries using rubella vaccines in their national health programs continues to increase steadily over the years. As of December 2018, 168 of the 194 countries have introduced rubella vaccines and the global coverage rate is estimated to be 69%. Reported cases of rubella fell by 97%, from 670 894 cases in 102 countries in 2000 to 14 621 cases in 151 countries in 2018.

In order to serve the needs of rubella injections for babies, Share99 International Health Hub system is currently providing MSD (USA) MMR II + Diluent Inj 0.5ml vaccine that can prevent 3 measles, mumps, rubella.
