My Son Is 9 Months Old. In Our Area, The

My son is 9 months old. In our area, the rubella (German measles) vaccine is currently free. It is only the rubella vaccine and not the full MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine. My son is scheduled to get his MMR at age 1. Is it ok to give him the rubella vaccine now and then give him the MMR? Would the double exposure to the rubella vaccine harm him in any way?
