Infectious diseases such as rubella, chickenpox or measles are often grouped together as so-called childhood diseases. But adults can also go through these diseases, often even with a more severe course, if they are not already ill with them as a child or have been vaccinated against them.
For both children and adults, an infection can be severe and associated with complications or even long-term consequences. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) therefore regularly makes public recommendations to protect against these diseases.
