title: [Degree of protection against poliomyelitis of Dutch subjects born before 1945 and of allochthonous subjects in Utrecht, and the relationship to socioeconomic status].
abstract: In 1992 a seroepidemiological survey regarding the immune status for poliomyelitis was carried out amongst the population of the city of Utrecht: Dutch people born before 1945 and migrant workers and their families of all ages. Migrant workers and their families were well protected against poliomyelitis, using the WHO criteria (titre > or = I:8). The Dutch people born before 1945 were also well protected. Protection of Dutch people born before 1945 was better as their socioeconomic status was lower.
