Rubella virus is a virus spread through nasopharyngeal secretions. If an expectant mother is infected with rubella virus before pregnancy, it will be very harmful to the fetus and can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth or fetal malformation. If you are infected with the rubella virus in early pregnancy, your doctor will recommend an abortion.

At present, there is no effective treatment for rubella virus. The main treatments are to improve symptoms and relieve pain. Rubella virus vaccination can play a very good preventive role and is of great significance to pre-pregnant women. It is recommended to receive rubella vaccine at least 6 months before pregnancy so that the body has enough time to eliminate the harmful effects of the vaccine virus and produce corresponding antibodies.

Note that rubella vaccine must not be given after pregnancy. Must be injected before pregnancy. The rubella vaccine is approximately 98% effective against the virus, and one vaccination can provide lifelong immunity.
