Is Measles IgG Testing for Healthcare Providers Cost-Effective? Results From Seroprevalence Studies of Healthcare Providers in a Tertiary Public Hospital With a Large Foreign-Born Workforce [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
The article discusses research which investigated cost-effectiveness of serologic screening for measles in healthcare staff of a public hospital in Singapore. Topics explored include the vulnerability of healthcare personnel to measles due to their exposure to the infection, the usefulness demonstrated by the serological testing methods studied, and the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccination of concerned staff.
