Measles, Mumps, Rubella

Women of childbearing age should be tested prior to pregnancy. All seronegative women of childbearing age, provided they are not pregnant, should be offered rubella vaccine. As the virus in the rubella vaccine can cause fetal infection, it is desirable that the fetal vaccine not be taken by any woman who may be pregnant. The women who take this vaccine need to take care that they do not become pregnant for at least two full menstrual cycles. However, to date, there have not been any rubella-like defects in the live born infants of seronegative mothers vaccinated during or just before pregnancy. Based on this experience, rubella vaccination during pregnancy need not be the reason to recommend interruption of pregnancy. The final decision must be made by you and the doctor.
