Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rubella is the correct choice as widespread administration of the rubella vaccine has led to a decline in rubella infections during pregnancy, which can cause intellectual disabilities in babies. Toxoplasmosis can also cause intellectual disabilities, but there is no widespread vaccine for it. Fetal alcohol syndrome is caused by maternal consumption of alcohol during pregnancy, and HIV can lead to intellectual disabilities if it progresses to AIDS, but neither of these have been significantly impacted by widespread vaccination.
