VAZQUEZ RIVAS, Fabián and MAHILLO FERNANDEZ, Ignacio. Measles immune response: use of serology before vaccination in healthcare workers. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.2, pp.29-34. Epub Oct 19, 2020. ISSN 3020-1160.

From 2614 studied healthcare workers, a 5,81% did not reveal measles immunity, with a 2,91% negative IgG result and a 2,91% with undetermined IgG result.
