This vaccine was not available when I was a child. I do believe I had what was called German measles back then. Nobody else in the family caught it, but since so many people are asymptomatic (according to your discussion), it's likely my siblings did have it but did not show signs. We lived so closely together.Hello @cyprianj,
My question for you today is, if a woman is supposed to avoid pregnancy for four weeks after vaccination, doesn't that present a problem in real-life terms? This suggests lack of intimacy for four weeks. Depending on the education level and willingness to cooperate (of both partners), doesn't this present a challenge?
As always,an informative article. Thank you!
You so right with this and yes, it is sure a challenge. It will now depend the decision of both partners to weigh the risk. The short sexual pleasure they can derive or the chances of having a diseased baby, which is preferable. Sure the risk outweighs the reward.
Moreover, it's just for a month, they could as well decide to do a family planning. This will in a way save the baby and also not deny them of their sexual intimacy.
It's a win win situation for everyone. The baby is safe, and couples are happy.
This added a lot lovely conversation to this discussion, thank you so much for the read and also the lovely compliment 💖.
