This study investigated how parity of women influence their susceptibility to rubella among 4,601 Japanese pregnant women. The greater part of these women had not received rubella vaccine. The prevalence rate of rubella HI antibody was generally the lowest in the nulliparous women and it also increased with increasing maternal parity.
