Abstract

A Somalian asylum seeker gave birth in the Netherlands to a full-term neonate with congenital rubella syndrome. The mother was probably in Somalia or en route to Europe during her infectious period. Given the worldwide ongoing humanitarian crises in regions of low vaccination coverage, awareness in countries receiving refugees is needed together with ongoing rubella vaccine campaigns in immigrant populations.
