Article Synopsis
- Rubella is a major public health issue in developing countries, especially for preventing congenital rubella, and this study focused on children 10 and under in Jos, Nigeria, from May to September 2016.
- Researchers used a multistage sampling method to recruit unvaccinated children from schools, testing for rubella antibodies with the ELISA method and analyzing data using R software.
- Among 405 participants, 82.96% tested positive for rubella IgG, while only 2.22% had IgM, with significant links found between higher seropositivity and factors like being older than 5 years and lacking Western education, indicating a need for a better vaccination program.
