#DYK? Rubella was once called German Measles and Three-Day Measles. Different names, but the same virus and the same risks. 🦠 Rubella is a contagious viral illness that can cause fever, headache, sore throat, and a rash. While symptoms are often mild, rubella can be very serious during pregnancy. 🤒 No matter what you call this virus, the MMR vaccine protects against it: Two doses of the MMR vaccine are 97% effective at protecting against rubella. MMR vaccine can’t be given during pregnancy so it’s important to make sure you’re immune prior to getting pregnant! 🛡️ Staying up to date on vaccines helps protect our communities and families. ❤️ #MMRVaccine #Rubella #HealthyCommunities

What is mumps? Mumps is a contagious viral illness that can cause fever, headache, muscle aches, tiredness, and swelling of the cheeks or jaw. In some cases, mumps can lead to serious complications, including hearing loss or swelling of the brain. 🤒 Mumps may seem like a disease of the past, but it can still spread, especially in close-contact settings. 🖐️ The MMR vaccine helps protect against mumps and reduces the risk of outbreaks in our communities. Two doses of the MMR vaccine are 86% effective at preventing mumps. 🦠 Vaccination helps protect individuals and stop the spread in our communities.
