Is it necessary to get the rubella vaccine before pregnancy?

Female friends should keep this in mind when preparing for pregnancy: it is not suitable to get pregnant within 3 months of receiving the rubella vaccine. You know, it's not terrible for ordinary people to get rubella, but if a pregnant woman gets rubella, the impact will be quite serious, and it may cause serious harm to the fetus such as deformity and premature birth. So if you have had rubella, do you still need to get the rubella vaccine before getting pregnant?

Rubella vaccination is a good way to prevent rubella. Vaccination can produce antibodies and protect against the rubella virus. For women who have not received the rubella vaccine and have never been infected with rubella, the adverse effects of rubella infection during pregnancy may be very serious, because rubella virus infection may cause fetal malformations or heart problems.

So, what is the effect of getting the rubella vaccine before pregnancy?

Rubella is caused by the rubella virus. Rubella virus infection may harm the fetus, causing microcephaly or abnormal growth and development at the cardiac level.

Generally speaking, rubella infection rarely occurs during pregnancy, because most people have been infected with rubella before pregnancy, and once infected with rubella, they will gain lifelong immunity. However, for women who have never received the rubella vaccine or been infected with rubella, it is very necessary to get the rubella virus vaccine before pregnancy.

According to statistics, rubella vaccine has been used in clinical medicine for many years and can provide lifelong immunity after vaccination, so it is unlikely to be infected with rubella virus in the future. What's more, because the rubella vaccine is a live vaccine, pregnant women cannot get it. Therefore, it is very necessary to get the rubella vaccine before pregnancy.

In addition, for some women who are about to become pregnant but do not know whether they have been infected with rubella, they can check the rubella antigen before pregnancy.
