  • Antibody persistence for 3 years following two doses of tetravalent measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine in healthy children. (medscape.com)
Adults5
  • Children who have rubella usually recover within 1 week, but adults may take longer. (kidshealth.org)
  • Most rubella infections today are in young, non-immunized adults rather than in kids. (kidshealth.org)
  • In fact, experts say that about 10% of young adults are not vaccinated against rubella, which could be dangerous for any children they might have someday. (kidshealth.org)
  • All adults born during or after 1957 should receive at least one dose of MMR vaccine, unless they have had a blood test showing they are immune to rubella or have had the disease. (hawaii.gov)
  • Older children, adolescents , and adults also need 1 or 2 doses of MMR vaccine if they are not already immune to measles, mumps, and rubella. (aap.org)
Incubation period for rubella1
  • The incubation period for rubella ranges between 14 and 21 days. (who.int)
Pregnancy3
  • Rubella testing in pregnancy does not attempt to identify current affected pregnancies. (health.gov.au)
  • Inform women who have been vaccinated against rubella before they were aware of the pregnancy that the baby is highly unlikely to have been affected by the vaccine. (health.gov.au)
  • Congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) occurs among at least 25 percent of infants born to women who have had rubella during the first trimester of pregnancy. (deafblind.co.uk)
Elimination6
  • Rubella and CRS surveillance play a critical role in assessing and monitoring disease burden and epidemiology before and after vaccine introduction, and progress towards elimination. (cdc.gov)

Infants2
  • Although it seldom poses a major risk to kids, rubella does put unborn infants at considerable risk. (wa.gov)
  • However, rubella may have devastating consequences for infants infected before birth. (msdmanuals.com)
Cases are asymptomatic1
Severe1
  • In the Education Act, a distinction was made between Educationally Subnormal (ESN) mild and severe. (taylorfrancis.com)
Epidemic4
  • Lead by Harry M. Meyer and Paul J. Parkman, the team included Hope E. Hopps, Ruth L. Kirschstein, and Rudyard Wallace among others, the team began serious work on the vaccine with the arrival of a major rubella epidemic in the United States in 1964. (wikipedia.org)
  • Parkman, Meyer, and the team from the NIH tested the vaccine at the Children's Colony in Conway, Arkansas in 1965 while a rubella epidemic still raged across the United States. (wikipedia.org)
  • The ability to isolate children in their cabins and control access to the children made it an ideal location for testing a vaccine without starting an epidemic of rubella. (wikipedia.org)
  • During the 1962-1965 worldwide epidemic, an estimated 12.5 million rubella cases occurred in the United States, resulting in 20,000 cases of congenital rubella syndrome. (medscape.com)
