my daughter's pediatrician told me that there a risk of catching the rubella if the virus contained in the vaccine is mildly strong, is that true? iam so worried and confused, iam afraid that if i didn't give her the shoot that she may contract the disease and this will be very serious too. please this is so serious and i want anyone who knows anything related to my question to answer me back. thanks alot.

There is actually little to NO risk of contracting rubella from a vaccine. They are toxoid vaccines, which means that scientists break down the DNA of the virus and only use PARTS of it to make the vaccination. Therefore, the vaccination doesn't contain the virus as a whole and you are very unlikely to catch rubella from it.
I would say you are better off letting your daughter stay on track with her vaccinations than waiting.
Good luck and congrats with the new baby on the way!!

Send her to grandparents as suggested. The vaccines maybe conversational but it is better to be safe then sorry. Check and see what is in the vaccine, if it is the new updated one without the toxic stuff people have been complaining about.
My kid has had rubella and 5th's diseases several times now, the vaccines didn't help us. Check with the school and see if they will allow her to wait until after the baby is borne.

this may sound bad....but get ur daughter the shot and let her go for a weekend with her grandparents until teh virus is gone then it might not be a threat to u or the baby

get her the shot, it will be fine, your doc has to tell you all the warnings, all five of my children have been vaccinated and are fine and all my nieces and nephews, all my friends children etc

This is a decision for your doctor to make. Certainly you aren't the first one in this position.

She can have the injection and it will not affect you or your unborn baby.
Take her in, everything will be fine.
