In recent years, 17\u201331% of all marriages in Taiwan have been between Taiwanese men and foreign women. The aim of this study was to analyze rubella seroepidemiology and the rate of catch-up immunization in women. We recruited 10,089 pregnant women, including 1,920 immigrants, who had received prenatal examinations during 1999\u20132006. The rates of seronegativity among global, Taiwan-born, and non\u2013Taiwan-born pregnant women were 14.0%, 11.9%, and 23.1%, respectively. The seronegativity of rubella antibodies decreased from 28.2% for Taiwan-born women born before September 1971 to 8.0% for those born thereafter. The rates of rubella catch-up immunization among global, Taiwan-born, and non\u2013Taiwan-born pregnant women were 28.6%, 20.5%, and 42.2%, respectively. Our results suggest that substantial numbers of older Taiwan-born women and immigrant women remain susceptible to rubella infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.2010.09-0302","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,1,11]],"date-time":"2010-01-11T16:47:50Z","timestamp":1263228470000},"page":"40-44","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Rubella
