Who's At Risk
German measles is rare in the United States due to required vaccination, usually given twice before children start attending school. There is a higher incidence of German measles in people who are in confined situations such as military bases and schools. Most infections seen in the US occur in young adults who have not been vaccinated. German measles is commonly seen in disadvantaged people, migrant workers, and new immigrants.
