NOTES: The rubella vaccine is recommended as part of the immunization schedule to be given at 15 months of age. It is usually combined with the mumps and measles vaccine as a single dose. Do not inject intravenously or use nasally. It is important to understand the risks and benefits of vaccinations. Discuss them with your doctor.

MISSED DOSE: It is recommended to receive each vaccination as scheduled. Be sure to make a note in your medical history of when the vaccination was last given. This is usually given as a one time dose. As with most medications, do not "double-up" the dose if a dose is missed.

STORAGE: This medication is stored in the refrigerator as directed.
