Rubella umbrella campaign
The “rubella umbrella” campaign urged parents to have their children immunized from this viral infection. Rubella, or more commonly referred to as the German measles, is a mild childhood illness that can pose a serious threat to a fetus, if the mother contracts the illness during pregnancy. More than 20,000 babies were born with congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) during an outbreak of rubella in 1964-65. This epidemic cost the country an estimated $1.5 billion. The rubella vaccine was first licensed in the U.S. in 1969.
-
This photograph shows a boy with his “Official Rubella Fighter Membership Card”, and button after being immunized for rubella during the “rubella umbrella” campaign of the late 1960s, early 1970s.
-
This mid to late 1960s U.S. Public Health Service announcement from the Office of the Surgeon General, William H. Stewart, M.D., helped to educate the public as to the health complications associated with a measles infection, and the importance of receiving a preventative vaccination.
-
This photograph showed a display used to educate the public on Rubella vaccination and the mother to fetus transmission of this virus.
-
Shown here is a grouping of four illustrations that were used in public service campaigns to encourage parents to vaccinate their children against Rubella in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
-
Shown here are two “Official Rubella Fighter Membership Cards”, featuring the “spotted rubella umbrella”. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, these cards were given to children upon receiving a rubella vaccination.
