Document Summary
Health promotion for planning future pregnancies and children. Rubella vaccination: recommended for women who have not had rubella or women with no serologically immunity (titre of 1:8, or enzyme immunoassay of less than 0. 8). Subcutaneous injection of rubella vaccine is recommended immediately in postpartum period, to prevent contraction of the virus in future pregnancies. Those who shouldn"t get vaccine: women allergic to duck eggs, as the vaccine is made from duck eggs. If given the vaccine, they will develop rashes and hypersensitivity and will need adrenaline. Legal tip: rubella vaccination: proper legal consent for vaccine includes informing women about adverse effects and risk of teratogenic effects. Women must also understand that they must practice contraception for 1 mnth after being vaccinated to avoid pregnancy. Prevention of rh isoimmunization: woman with rh(-) blood will develop antibodies if baby has rh(+) blood, these antibodies will then attack baby"s blood.
