“…Of those seronegative HCPs, 60.4% (29/48) had a history of contact with pregnant women in their workplace [ 22 ]. Similarly, a study conducted in Jodhpur among female medical and nursing students found that 14.4% were seronegative for rubella antibodies with no history of vaccination in childhood or adolescence [ 23 ], and a study of HCPs in Madurai found that 11.4% (66/581) of HCPs were seronegative for rubella IgG and IgM antibodies [ 24 ]. Additionally, in a seroepidemiological study of women in Amritsar, 20% of women who were HCPs were seronegative for rubella IgG antibodies; these HCPs had no history of immunisation against rubella [ 25 ].…”

Residual blood specimens collected at health facilities may be a source of samples for serosurveys of adults, a population often neglected in community-based serosurveys. Anonymized residual blood specimens were collected from individuals 15 – 49 years of age attending two sub-district hospitals in Palghar District, Maharashtra, from November 2018 to March 2019. Specimens also were collected from women 15 – 49 years of age enrolled in a cross-sectional, community-based serosurvey representative at the district level that was conducted 2 – 7 months after the residual specimen collection. Specimens were tested for IgG antibodies to measles and rubella viruses. Measles and rubella seroprevalence estimates using facility-based specimens were 99% and 92%, respectively, with men having significantly lower rubella seropositivity than women. Age-specific measles and rubella seroprevalence estimates were similar between the two specimen sources. Although measles seropositivity was slightly higher among adults attending the facilities, both facility and community measles seroprevalence estimates were 95% or higher. The similarity in measles and rubella seroprevalence estimates between the community-based and facility serosurveys highlights the potential value of residual specimens to approximate community seroprevalence.
