Rubella

Background

Rubella: German measles

Rubella is no longer a common disease of childhood in the UK. This is a result of the Mumps, Measles and Rubella (MMR) vaccination programme (see Immunisation article) - although there are concerns that if MMR vaccination rates continue to drop then cases of rubella will reappear.
