A member asked:
The rash and joint symptoms of german measles are very rare in the u.s.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: German measles, or rubella, has become rare in the United States because of the availability of a very effective vaccine. Since it became available in the late 1960s, no major outbreaks have occurred here. That is not true in other parts of the world, however.
