Abstract

Sera from 1,768 adolescent women were tested for rubella HAI titer. Overall, 20.1% (355) of the patients screened were susceptible. The follow-up vaccination rate was 37.7% over the 3-yr period with yearly variations ranging from 13.8 to 43.6%. Among the 134 vaccinees, 91 had been reported to the Virus Research Laboratory and 43 (32% of the vaccinees) were identified through the chart review. As of December 31, 1977, 84% of the vaccinees had returned to confirm seroconversion. The seroconversion rate for the group tested was 95%. During the month of April 1977, 147 adolescent women visited the clinic. Review of 145 charts (2 could not be located) revealed that 61 had serum for rubella HAI titer drawn during the April visit and 47 had had the serum drawn within the preceding 12 mth. Thus, 74% (108 of the 145) of adolescent women seen had had appropriate rubella serologic screening.
