Measles, German: Article Excerpts about Rubella

Measles, mumps, and rubella were once very common diseases in the United States, but they have become rare because of the use of vaccines to prevent them. As with many other diseases, measles, mumps, and rubella generally are more severe in adults than in children. Most adults are immune to all three infections because they had them (or a vaccine) as children. (Source: excerpt from Shots for Safety - Age Page - Health Information: NIA)
