Background: The epidemiological features and sero-susceptibility of measles will help health authorities establishing evidencebased vaccination and control strategies. Objectives: were to measure the sero-susceptibility of measles and determine the possible associated epidemiological features with sero-susceptibility among workers. Method: A cross-sectional study was used. Four hundred twenty-two workers attending the Medical Commission (MC) were studied. An interview administered questionnaire, socioeconomic status score, and anti-measles IgG test were the data collection tools. Results: Measles sero-susceptibility was (5.7%) among the studied participants. It was significantly associated with those being (Less than 25 years, single, and not living with children). Sero-susceptibility was more common among those who are:(Males, from Sri Lanka, Egypt or Nepal, illiterate or holding primary education, seeking office jobs, having income meet routine expenses, ranked in the low or middle socioeconomic status score, and living with (>1) person/room crowding index. Conclusion: It is not recommended to start screening against measles as a part of the routine testing in the MC. Vaccinating foreign workers before their arrival is not a priority, as measles sero-susceptibility among them is limited. Encouraging the continuation of strict active surveillance for measles, including case detection, contact protection, and control to approach elimination.
