Should i get a rubella vaccine shot again?

i'm not sure whether i had one shot at 12 or 15 years old. now i'm 21. there's an outbreak of rubella here at the hostel i'm staying. the university clinique is asking every female students to get a shot.

if i already had one at 12 or 15 years old, is it safe if i get another shot now?

hmm. You need to check your vaccine record. Most people have their first MMR at12-15 months (not years) and then the booster at least 4 weeks later, but usually at 4-6 years of age.

No, it's not safe (and not wise) for you to get rubella vaccine when there's an outbreak around you.
