Efficacy

"Effectiveness begins about two weeks after a single dose and occurs in around 95%."

95% of people gain 100% immunity (100% "effective")
95% of people gain x% immunity (subjective effectiveness)
100% of people gain 95% immunity

Too lazy to read through the literature, not sure what this sentence is claiming for efficacy. --Lucas559 (talk) 20:23, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

95% of people gain complete immunity is my understanding. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 08:24, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Under the pregnancy section, there should be guidelines not just for women who are expecting but also women who are planning to become pregnant.

My proposed addition under the Pregnancy section:

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, women who are planning to become pregnant should make sure that they have rubella immunity beforehand, as the virus has a potential to cause miscarriage or serious birth defects.[7] The CDC recommends getting a pre-pregnancy blood test to screen for immunity, and those with negative results should refrain from getting pregnant for at least one month after receiving the vaccine.[7]
