Hi Jacqui,
Here in Leicester we check bloods on all staff in clinical contact for
Rubella and chickenpox.
We also give 2 vaccines for MMR if it is indicated, unless they are over
the age of 40. This is because they are considered to have what's called
"herd" immunity.
The MMR is given even if they already have proof of immunity to rubella.
The main reason for giving it is Measles and Mumps
Regards
Neil

We insist on 2 x do
I have heard of this, but we don't accept it.
We insist on 2 x doses of rubella bearing vaccine - with evidence seen
(or confirmed by child health). Or serology.
Nothing else.

Hi
We are looking at our health care students pre course requirements.
currently
we ask for evidence of TB vaccination and Rubella vaccination and a
yes/no
on chickenpox history.
If the person has not had rubella vaccine to their knowledge we ask for
evidence of immunity.
We have had a local OHN's discussion about what constitutes evidence and
it
seems that some places accept "a pregnancy in the UK in the last 20
years"
yet I cannot find this recommendation anywhere, and personally I am not
sure
if this is OK to accept as immunity as there is nothing to suggest any
post
partum vaccine has been effective until the next pregnancy rubella
check.
What do others do?
Jacqui
