context_page_description: Rubella vaccine is a vaccine used to prevent rubella. Effectiveness begins about two weeks after a single dose and around 95% of people become immune. Countries with high rates of immunization no longer see cases of rubella or congenital rubella syndrome. When there is a low level of childhood immunization in a population it is possible for rates of congenital rubella to increase as more women make it to child-bearing age without either vaccination or exposure to the disease. Therefore, it is important for more than 80% of people to be vaccinated.
  The World Health Organization recommends that the rubella vaccine be included in routine vaccinations. If not all people are immunized then at least women of childbearing age should be immunized. It should not be given to those who are pregnant or those with very poor immune function. While one dose is often all that is required for lifelong protection, often two doses are given.
  Side effects are generally mild. They may include fever, rash, and pain and redness at the site of injection. Joint pain may be reported at between one and three weeks following vaccination in women. Severe allergies are rare.
context_section_description: Rubella is seldom given as an individual vaccine and is often given in combination with measles, mumps, or varicella (chickenpox) vaccines.
  Below is the list of measles-containing vaccines:
  Rubella vaccine (standalone vaccine)
  Measles and rubella combined vaccine (MR vaccine)
  Mumps, measles and rubella combined vaccine (MMR vaccine)
  Mumps, measles, rubella and varicella combined vaccine (MMRV vaccine) The measles vaccine is equally effective for preventing measles in all formulations, but side effects vary depending with the combination.
