because if you get pregnant and then get rubella it can do a lot of damage to the baby so if you get the shot before you ever get pregnant that keeps that situation from happening

Rubella can have serious birth defects should a woman contract it while pregnant. I didn't know they even made it as a single shot anymore. Most places have the combined MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine that kids get after they turn one year old and a booster at the age of 5. In NY, you can't even begin school without both of those shots.
The shot itself doesn't hurt, nor should there be a painful reaction to it afterwards. It's a little pinch when you get the actual injection. If it bothers you just thinking about it, look away when they give it you.
Good luck!

ideas through the centers for ailment administration are for initial vaccination for MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) at 12-15 months of age for all toddlers, followed through a 2d dose commonly administered at age 4-6 (even though it might take delivery of at any time see you later as 4 weeks have elapsed because the first dose and the first dose changed into given at or after 3 hundred and sixty 5 days of age.) in case you've not received a 2d dose, it really is counseled that you get it between the a at the same time as of 11-12. it truly is for all toddlers, no longer only ladies. Vaccinations are not painless, in spite of the indisputable fact that the minute or 2 of soreness is way extra ideal than getting mumps, measles or rubella as a teen, at the same time as those youngsters ailments will be extra intrusive on your existence, extra uncomfortable and infrequently extra risky. compared to that the shot isn't something. Ask for some Emla cream or different topical anesthetic earlier the shot if you're terrified.

Not sure. Never had one but I hate all shots.
I never heard of this, but it could either be because they don't or can't give before puberty, or it's done because girls that age started getting pregnant and Rubella is the primary cause of Downs Syndrome like babies.
When I had rubella as a teen (maybe it is an adolsecent occurance) my doctor warned me to stay far away from pregant women.

Vaccinations are bad for you!
A vaccinated person is MORE likely to get a disease than a non-vaccinated person. The whole theory of vaccination is flawed. It causes a weakening of the immune system thus making those who are innoculated more susceptible to disease.
There are so many awful side effects to vaccination that it should be considered extremely dangerous.
Just sit back and think for a while.
Is there any sense in injecting a disease directly into your bloodstream.
We have been subjected to an awful mind control program to enable the drug manufacturers to make a fortune.

Where I live, you have to have that shot to get into school. They wont let you in unless you have the required shots.
