Rubella immunisation for girls over 14 years.
Rubella vaccination was offered to a cohort of schoolgirls 14 years and over whose immune state was unknown. This increased the percentage vaccinated or known to be immune from 86% to 90%. It is recommended that rubella vaccination should be offered to girls until they leave school at 16 years of age.
