Measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella seroprevalence in health care workers: A cross-sectional study from Tan Tock Seng Hospital and the National Centre for Infectious Diseases, Singapore
Participants had high measles, rubella, and varicella seroprevalence but not mumps. The immunity criterion was unreliable for mumps. Vaccinating HCWs with a third MMR dose could be considered in mumps outbreaks. Infection prevention and control measures remain important.
