Explanation:

3rd statement is incorrect i.e. Rubella infections are prevented by immunisation programs using dead virus vaccines.
The disease can spread through direct contact with the saliva or mucus of an infected person or through the air by respiratory droplets produced from coughing or sneezing.
Symptoms often appear two to three weeks after exposure and also include mild fever and headache.
Rubella has been declared eliminated in the US. Parents are cautioned to vaccinate children with the MMR vaccine to prevent its re-emergence.
