Description:In the United States, measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella immunity is now primarily achieved through vaccination. Monitoring population immunity is necessary.| We evaluated seroprevalence of antibodies to measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey during 2009–2010.| Measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella seroprevalence was 92.0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 90.9%−93.0%), 87.6% (CI, 85.8%−89.2%), 95.3% (CI, 94.3%−96.2%), and 97.8% (CI, 97.1%−98.3%), respectively. United States (US)-born persons had lower mumps seroprevalence and higher varicella seroprevalence than non-US born persons.| Seroprevalence was high (88%–98%) for all 4 viruses in the US population during 2009−2010.
