    Rubella, also known as German measles, is a viral disease that typically spreads between children ages 5-9 and was first discovered by a German physician. It can be spread through coughing, sneezing, or from an infected pregnant woman to her fetus. While the disease is usually mild with half of infections causing no symptoms, it poses serious risks if contracted during pregnancy as it can harm the developing fetus. The MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps, and rubella, is effective in preventing the disease when administered in two doses at 12-15 months and again at 6-8 years old. Common minor side effects from the vaccine include a sore arm and neck swelling.
