Abstract
A measles outbreak involving 19 adults in a home for the intellectually disabled occurred in Singapore in 2019. Further investigation, including a serological survey, was conducted. Mass vaccination and infection control measures were implemented, terminating further secondary transmission. Seropositivity among residents aged 40 to 49 years (90.7%; 95% confidence interval = 78.4%, 96.3%) was lower than among the Singapore adult population (P < .001). This sheltered population, like others previously reported in the literature, had lower measles immunity than the general community, possibly because of limited social interaction. Targeted catch-up vaccination for similarly vulnerable populations should be considered.Entities:
