also known as Measles virus IgG Ab in Serum by Immunoassay
The Measles Immunity Test is a simple blood test that confirms whether you are protected against the rubeola virus, the virus that causes measles. It measures IgG antibodies in your blood to determine if you have immunity from past vaccination or previous infection. Measles is one of the most contagious viral infections known. It spreads easily through respiratory droplets and can remain in the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves an area. Because of its high transmission rate, even brief exposure can lead to infection in unprotected individuals. Although vaccination has greatly reduced measles cases, outbreaks continue to occur in communities with lower immunization rates and among international travelers. Confirming your immunity ensures you are protected and helps reduce the spread of this potentially serious disease. This test is especially valuable if you are unsure about your vaccination history, need documentation for school or work, or want reassurance during local outbreaks. A quick blood draw provides clear answers about your measles immunity status. What Is Included In This Test? This test measures: Measles IgG antibodiesEvidence of immunity due to vaccination or prior infection Results indicate whether protective antibodies are present. Why Does This Test Matter? Measles can cause serious complications, including pneumonia, encephalitis, and, in rare cases, death. Even healthy individuals can experience severe illness. Confirming immunity helps protect both you and vulnerable populations such as infants and immunocompromised individuals. Because measles is contagious before symptoms fully appear, individuals may unknowingly spread the virus. Immunity testing helps reduce community transmission by identifying those who may need vaccination. This test is often required for school enrollment, healthcare employment, military service, and certain travel situations. Having documented proof of immunity ensures compliance and avoids delays. With outbreaks increasing in some regions, confirming protection provides peace of mind and helps you take proactive steps to safeguard your health. Who Should Consider This Test?
