Description:

Rubella Vaccine is a medicine used in the prevention of rubella. Rubella is a highly contagious disease that is caused by a virus. This vaccine is given to children to prevent them from the disease.

Rubella Vaccine is administered by a healthcare professional and should not be self-administered. It protects the child from diseases that can be caused by rubella virus.

Like with any other injectable vaccine, there could be mild pain and redness at the injection site, low-grade fever, rash, and upper respiratory tract infection.

The doctor may help with ways to reduce or prevent these symptoms.
