Most rubella infections today are in young, non-immunized adults rather than in kids. Children usually get the vaccine at 12—15 months of age as part of the scheduled measles- mumps -rubella MMR immunization or measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine MMRV.
Most get a second dose at 4—6 years of age. As with all immunization schedules, there are important exceptions and special circumstances. For example, a child who will travel outside the United States can get the vaccine as early as 6 months of age.
Talk to your doctor to see when your child should get the vaccine. The rubella vaccine should not be given to pregnant women or to a woman who plans to become pregnant within 1 month of getting it. If you are thinking about becoming pregnant, make sure that you're immune to rubella through a blood test or proof of immunization. If you're not immune, get the vaccine at least 1 month before you become pregnant.
Pregnant women who are not immune should avoid anyone who has the illness, then get the vaccine after their baby is born so they'll be immune during any future pregnancies.
