Seroprevalence of Measles Antibodies among High-Risk Healthcare Workers in Auckland, New Zealand: Additional Justification for Assumption of Age-Determined Immunity Based on Local Data
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015
Extract
An outbreak of measles in another region of New Zealand prompted our organization to review the measles immunity of healthcare workers. Some studies suggest that age-specific immunity cannot be assumed. In our local setting, however, we found that 893 (98%) of 912 healthcare workers more than 40 years old tested seropositive for measles immunoglobulin G.
