German measles (rubella) has spread rapidly in Japan recently, with the majority of patients being in their 20s – 30s. The disease is likely to peak during the month of June, so travellers to Japan may wish to consider MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine. Childhood infection confers lifelong immunity – those who may not be immune should have a total of two doses of MMR vaccine.
