Subsidy for rubella antibody testing and vaccination costs

If a woman who does not have immunity to wind sickness is infected mainly in the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus may develop congenital wind sickness syndrome .
Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence of congenital wind shin syndrome, the city will subsidize the full cost of the wind shin antibody test for eligible people.
In addition, as a result of the wind shin antibody test, we will subsidize part of the vaccination cost for those who have insufficient antibody titers.
