Rubella--a case for immunising male adolescents.
An outbreak of rubella at a training institution for predominantly adolescent males is described. The cost and inconvenience of the outbreak furnish evidence that immunisation in its own right is worth while, and should not be seen only as a means of protecting susceptible females of child-bearing age.
