Rubella is a contagious disease that is generally mild in children and adults but can be dangerous if contracted by pregnant women, leading to Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS) in the fetus. This syndrome can cause severe birth defects, including heart disorders, hearing and vision loss, intellectual disabilities, and liver or spleen damage. Therefore, immunity to Rubella is particularly crucial for women of childbearing age.
