These eight new titles offer guidance and insight for those seeking explanations on important health and well-being topics.Measles and rubella (German measles) are highly infectious respiratory diseases characterized by fever and a rash. Until the advent of immunization, measles and rubella often proved fatal to children in North America, and these diseases continue to threaten children's lives in developing countries and other areas where immunization may not be widely available. This concise, fact-filled book examines the history of these dangerous diseases and provides crucial information about the importance of vaccination.
