However, congenital rubella resulting from transmission from mother to baby during pregnancy can result in multiple severe defects. There are concerns about the uptake of the MMR vaccine and that any outbreak of rubella would affect disproportionately minority groups in the UK who may not have had the vaccine. Helen Bedford explains.
