PREVENTION Active immunization is done by vaccination with alive attenuated rubella virus . Rubella vaccination is combined with measles and mumps vaccination . 98% of the population retains immune after this vaccination. Vaccination is given after 12 months years old. Since there is no effective rubella antivirus drug, vaccination prevention is very important in preventing disease and its possible consequences.

The disease  will just burn out and the disease will be cured.  There is no drug because when you are born  you are usually vaccinated.
