Measles, Mumps, and Rubella IgG Profile
The Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (IgG) Profile is a blood test that provides presumptive evidence of immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella. This test is ideal for individuals who need to confirm their vaccination status, such as students at post-high school educational institutions, international travelers, or those requiring routine vaccination checks.
The Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (IgG) Panel is a convenient way to confirm that you are protected against measles, mumps, and rubella. This test measures the levels of antibodies to these three viruses in your blood, helping you understand your immunity status. The panel includes the following tests:
Measles Antibody (IgG): Determines your immunity to measles.
Mumps Antibody (IgG): Determines your immunity to mumps.
Rubella Immune Status: Determines your immunity to rubella.
With these tests, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of your immunity status and whether you need any further vaccination to stay protected.
The Measles, Mumps, and Rubella IgG titer is a blood test that measures the levels of antibodies produced by your immune system in response to measles, mumps, and rubella infections or vaccinations. A positive result indicates that you are immune to these diseases, while a negative result means you are not immune and may need the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella vaccine.
The Measles, Mumps, and Rubella IgG Panel is recommended for anyone who wants to confirm their immunity status. This is especially important for:
Students entering post-high school institutions, where proof of immunity may be required.
International travelers who need to meet vaccination requirements before entering certain countries.
Individuals who want to ensure they are up-to-date on their vaccinations.
Positive MMR IgG Titer: A positive result means you have sufficient antibodies to protect against measles, mumps, and rubella. This is typically considered lifelong immunity.
Negative MMR IgG Titer: A negative result means you do not have immunity to these diseases. In this case, you should receive the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella vaccine to ensure protection.
Yes, even if your Measles, Mumps, and Rubella IgG titer is positive, it is recommended to stay up-to-date on vaccinations. Antibody levels can decline over time, and receiving booster vaccinations helps maintain strong immunity against these diseases.
It is generally recommended to get the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella titer test every five years to confirm that your immunity levels remain adequate. If you are exposed to measles, mumps, or rubella, you may need to test more frequently. Consult your healthcare provider for guidance on how often you should be tested.
