i have rubella ( german measles ).

i was slightly glad because that meant i had to call out of work for the whole weekend.

until i realized i was vaccinated against it... okay so i had no faith in vaccinations anyway but it sucks i had to get a shot for no good reason as a young child.

just me venting... feel free to ignore me :]

Yikes. I've never know anyone to contract Rubella. Hope you feel better soon.

Eek. I've known a couple of munchkins who fell prey to the "German Measles". Nothing too major, but all in all, not a fun time. Feel better soon!

did you get your booster shots? the effectiveness of vaccines is only so long which is why you typically get two (? i think two) boosters after the intitial.

ETA: i found this very nice link. apparently there is one (potential booster) which brings the effectiveness of the vaccine up to 99%, from 95% after one shot.

Feel better soon, and stay away from pregnant women ;-) most of us have had our shots too but apparently...
