| Article Title: | Prevalence of measles antibody among young adult healthcare workers in a cancer hospital: 1980s versus 1998-1999 |
| Abstract: | Despite the 1989 Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommendation of a second dose of vaccine, measles seropositivity rates had declined for adult healthcare workers in their 20s hired at a cancer hospital between 1998 and 1999 compared with those of the same age hired between 1983 and 1988. Continued monitoring will be important as individuals born after 1989 enter the workforce. |
