All persons who work in a medical facility should have evidence of immunity to measles and rubella. For most persons born after 1956, this means documentation of two doses of MMR vaccine, or serologic evidence of measles and rubella immunity. Persons born before 1957 can generally be considered immune to all three diseases, but age does not guarantee immunity. As a result, ACIP recommends that facilities consider recommending a dose of MMR to persons born before 1957 if there is no other evidence of immunity (such as serologic testing).
