Isnt this something that gets vaccinated against?

I'm fairly sure I got some form of vaccination (is it this circular thing with lots of tiny needles that leaves a mark on your arm for a couple of years afterwards?) as a child but obviously I can't remember exactly what it was for since I was quite little. A bunch of people from the health department go round to schools and hand out these shots, and I assume that Rubella (the virus that causes German Measles) is on their list but who knows.

I know that when I was in the Army, they lined us up every few years and hit us up with our MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) booster. Do they not do that to civilians?

I know I got this as a kid, twice I think (once as a booster), but I know I haven't had it, or even heard it mentioned, by the doctor now.
