Measles is a highly contagious viral disease spread through respiratory droplets. The number of reported cases increased worldwide in 2023, particularly the European Region. Italy 213 first quarter 2024, with most them unvaccinated adults aged 15-64. Maintaining high vaccination coverage essential to prevent outbreaks, especially healthcare settings where measles transmission significant risk. In our study, we collected serological and demographic information from all Italian foreign medical students residents (850) who underwent pre-training assessment at Tor Vergata Occupational Medicine Service, Rome, between 3 April 2023 31 January 2024. Of 850 analyzed, found only 546 (64.2%) protective level IgG antibodies against measles, median 2.00 AI. A proportion were serologically non-immune, raising concerns about potential risk hospital transmission. To manage this risk, it important assess levels, vaccinate those inadequate promote general population.
