A cyclical epidemic of rubella has been noted in Poland in 1997. The relatively high incidence rate persistent in the last interepidemic period and local outbreaks in some areas in 1995-1996 caused smaller range of 1997 epidemic. The incidence was much lower than in 1986 and 1992 when the biggest registered rubella outbreaks were noted. The last epidemic outbreak of rubella didn't change significantly the existing relation between the incidence, age, gender and place of residence (rural, urban).
