How come a fertility specialist recommend the rubella vaccine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Babies safety: During an evaluation the specialist will often run tests that verify any vulnerabilities you have that would affect a pregnancy. If you show no antibodies to rubella, then you are at risk of having the disease. Since rubella can cause profound birth defects & or a miscarriage if experienced during pregnancy, having the vaccine is a reasonable choice to prepare you for any future pregnancy.
