Rashes to Research: Scientists and Parents Confront the 1964 Rubella Epidemic
May 30-July 11
Central Library
814 W. Wisconsin Ave.
During the rubella epidemic that raged in 1964, 20,000 children were born with serious heart, hearing, and vision problems related to rubella exposure during pregnancy. While the nation’s scientists rushed to create a vaccine and develop better screening tests, families faced difficult, complicated decisions about current and future pregnancies. This exhibit highlights the work of researchers and parents to limit the impact of rubella in the years before an effective vaccine nearly eliminated the disease from the United States.
This Event Is Free
