Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice would be for Karen to discuss rubella immunization with her doctor before trying to get pregnant. It is not recommended to get immunized during pregnancy, and if she were to contract rubella during pregnancy, there may be risks to the child. Additionally, it is recommended for children to receive their first rubella immunization between the ages of 12 and 15 months, not at age 5.
