A member asked:
I had a rubella vaccine 10 yr ago so am i still vaccinated?

Yes: Two doses of rubella vaccine is currently recommended. Second dose is generally to boost the protective antibody level already worn down with time.

Vac vs immune: Having natural rubella or two doses of the vaccine at least a month apart sometime after the 1st birthday is the common way to acquire immunity. Because of the significant risk of congenital rubella ( caused by infection during pregnancy),OBGYNs often test for Rubella immunity (blood test) and give boosters if needed that would protect a future pregnancy.
