I was reading the news and there is a report of many women in Turkey have opted for abortion after having received the rubella virus vaccine during their pregnancy.
In light of the recent discussion of the flu-vaccine I thought it might be of interest. These women were not properly counseled, which is a terrible thing. Vaccination with live virus during the first 28 days of pregnancy can cause congenital rubella syndrome, but apparently vaccination after that period is not contra-indicated (especially in high-risk exposure groups) http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5049a5.htm
