Rubella vaccination
My son is 22 months old. We are staying in Bangalore. In this month of February there is a vaccination for rubella and measles is going on for free in government hospitals and schools in Bangalore. In the circulum it's saying all kids in between 9 months and 15 years should take this vaccination. We have already given our child MMR ( Measles Mumps Rubella) vaccination 2 doses (1&2) in the age of 9 months and 15 months respectively as the part of following regular vaccination chart provided from the hospital at the time of delivery. My question is whether we need to take this vaccination once again which is going on now by the government??

Yes. It is good to give it. Plan is to eliminate measles and rubella virus from the community itself by giving all children at one time.
