Rubella in Poland: 2022–2023

Analysis of epidemiological data from 2022-2023 indicates a marked increase in rubella cases in Poland compared to the COVID-19 pandemic period. In 2023, the number of reported cases was nearly five times higher than in 2021. Although the 2023 total remained below that of 2019, the last pre-pandemic year, the observed upward trend may be associated with increased virus transmission following a period of reduced exposure due to sanitary restrictions implemented during the pandemic.
