Rubella can cause birth defects in fetuses of pregnant women who are susceptible to this disease. Because national immunization efforts have been relatively successful, most cases of rubella occur in young adults. The School of Optometry and Jefferson County Department of Health in Alabama, and the Division of Optometry in Northeastern Oklahoma, cooperated to provide a voluntary serologic rubella screening for their students. About 9% were seronegative and were immunized against rubella. To eliminate the risk of future optometrists transmitting rubella to susceptible patients, we recommend that optometry students be screened for rubella antibodies and be provided immunization if found to be seronegative.
风疹可导致易感染此病的孕妇的胎儿出现出生缺陷。由于国家免疫工作相对成功，大多数风疹病例发生在年轻人身上。阿拉巴马州验光学院和杰斐逊县卫生部以及俄克拉荷马州东北部验光部门合作，为其学生提供了自愿性风疹血清学筛查。约9%的学生血清学检测呈阴性，并接种了风疹疫苗。为消除未来验光师将风疹传播给易感染患者的风险，我们建议对验光专业学生进行风疹抗体筛查，若血清学检测呈阴性则为其提供疫苗接种。
