Global Vaccine Safety

Switch from rubella vaccine to mumps, measles and rubella vaccine

Extract from report of GACVS meeting of 3-4 December 2003, published in the WHO Weekly Epidemiological Record on 16 January 2004

The attention of the Committee was drawn to the unavailability of a monovalent rubella vaccine in some countries and to the need to provide a rubella-containing combination vaccine to postpartum women seronegative for rubella. GACVS is not aware of any safety issues that would restrict the provision of a rubella-containing combination vaccine in place of single rubella vaccine in those circumstances
