Serological assessment of measles–rubella vaccination catch‐up campaign among university students

In Japan, 5000–300 000 persons contracted measles every year until 2001. The measles/rubella‐combined (MR) vaccination at age 17–18 years (phase 4 MR vaccination: MR‐IV) was launched in 2008 in Japan as a measles–rubella catch‐up campaign. A serological assessment of this campaign has not been thoroughly performed.
