Provision of rubella immunization in general practitioner family planning services
Abstract:
Serological screening for rubella immunity was offered to all women attending two general practices for family planning services if there was no record of their having been either immunized or found to be sero-positive. Using these criteria, 88 (52 per cent) were eligible for screening.Of the 73 who were screened, 10 (13 per cent) were shown to be non-immune. Analysis by age reveals that the group most likely to benefit from such a programme are those aged between 20 and 29. This study supports the feasibility of offering screening followed by rubella immunization as part of family planning services in general practice.
