Rubella is also known as German Measles. It is a mild disease whose symptoms include a characteristic red rash, fever and swollen lymph nodes.
A single dose of vaccine is 93% effective against measles, 78% effective against mumps, and 97% effective against rubella. The vaccine is 97% effective against measles and 88% effective against mumps after two doses.
Rubella/German measles is a milder form of measles. Measles always manifests as high fever and swollen lymph nodes, whereas the fever is of low grade in Rubella and lymph nodes are not always swollen. The pattern of rash is also different in the two diseases. The rash is spotty in Rubella, whereas it is blotchy in measles.
Priorix Vaccine can be given till five years of age in children as a part of routine immunisation. However, always follow the regular schedules and do not delay vaccination. If the vaccine was missed in childhood, it could be given to adults in a one or two-dose regimen.
Priorix Vaccine should not be used in individuals with a weak immune system due to diseases (cancer or HIV) or medicines (immune suppressants), blood disorders, immunological diseases, active untreated tuberculosis, and severe illness with fever.
Measles is an infectious viral disease. A virus in the paramyxovirus family causes it. It is typically transmitted through direct contact and the air. Measles symptoms appear one week to two weeks after contact with the virus. Symptoms include high fever, cough, runny nose, and watery eyes.
Store Priorix Vaccine in 2°C - 8°C temperatures. Keep the vial in the outer carton to protect it from light. Keep out of reach from children.

Yes, it may be possible for the child to get an infection even after the vaccination, but the risk is low. However, vaccination is the best way to protect your child from these diseases. Always, follow the guidance of your doctor.
Priorix Vaccine is administered at 12 months because it is most effective at that age. As the natural protection from the parent's antibodies starts to reduce over the first few months. The weakened viruses in the vaccine can multiply and cause an immune response.
