Hy 2405 I heard from a “bird” that immunizations were heavy on their test:
q) A 17-year-old girl named Vida Guerra of Havana Cuba (rhymes) with an incomplete vaccination record got a free shot of (MMR) vaccine during a visit to you. One month later, she learns that she is 8 weeks pregnant, and she is concerned about potential birth defects resulting from the MMR vaccine. What do you tell her?
a-She chances of affecting her baby are remote
b-Her chances of affecting her baby are around 50%
c-Her chances of affecting her baby are very serious and a high likelihood
a) There are no reported cases of congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) caused by exposure to the rubella vaccine during pregnancy. It is recommended, however, that women of childbearing age should receive the rubella vaccine only if they state that they are not pregnant and that they have been counseled not to become pregnant for 3 months because of the theoretical risk of exposure to the rubella virus through vaccination, however remote. Should pregnancy occurs within 3 months after vaccination, the woman should be counseled about the theoretical risk.
