Overview

MMR vaccination prior to pregnancy can prevent congenital rubella syndrome.

Primary Prevention

• MMR vaccination prior to pregnancy can prevent congenital rubella syndrome.
• Because rubella spreads from person to person via the respiratory route, pregnant women who are not immune to rubella should avoid contact with persons known to carry the virus.
