People are infectious during the week before and after the appearance of the rash. Rubella is preventable with the rubella vaccine with a single dose being more than 95% effective. Often it is given in combination with the measles vaccine and mumps vaccine, known as the MMR vaccine. Rubella is a common infection in many areas of the world. Each year about 100,000 cases of congenital rubella syndrome occur. Rates of disease have decreased in many areas including the Americas as a result of vaccination. Rash beginning on the face which spreads to the rest of the body. Low fever of less than 38.3 °C (101 °F), posterior cervical lymphadenopathy.
