The virus can also be transmitted from a pregnant woman to her developing fetus, potentially leading to serious consequences known as congenital rubella syndrome.It is essential for pregnant women to avoid contact with individuals who have rubella, as the virus can have severe consequences for the developing fetus. Regular vaccination is the most effective way to prevent rubella and its complications.
