Abstract

1054 females of child-bearing age in Kuwait were screened for rubella antibodies. 56 or 5.4% were found seronegative. In view of this relatively low rate of susceptibility, a large-scale rubella vaccination campaign in Kuwait may not be necessary. An alternative vaccination policy is suggested.
