Measles and rubella are highly contagious viral diseases that can lead to severe health complications. Measles can cause serious issues such as pneumonia, encephalitis, and even death, particularly in children. Rubella, although generally milder, poses a significant risk to pregnant women, potentially resulting in congenital rubella syndrome (CRS), which can lead to severe birth defects. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent these diseases and their associated complications.
