MMR Immunity Blood Test (Measles, Mumps & Rubella)

The MMR immunity test is a simple blood test that checks whether you have protective antibodies against measles, mumps, and rubella. It is suitable for anyone who needs to confirm their immune status, including healthcare workers, students, travellers, and individuals planning pregnancy. The test uses an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect IgG antibodies, which indicate past infection or successful vaccination.

The test screens for the following antibodies:

Measles IgG
- Measles IgG: Detects antibodies against the measles virus, indicating immunity from previous infection or vaccination.

Mumps IgG
- Mumps IgG: Detects antibodies against the mumps virus, indicating immunity from previous infection or vaccination.

Rubella IgG
- Rubella IgG: Detects antibodies against the rubella virus, indicating immunity from previous infection or vaccination. This is particularly important for women of childbearing age, as rubella infection during pregnancy can cause serious harm to the unborn baby.

Why it matters
Knowing your MMR immunity status is important for preventing outbreaks, especially in settings where close contact occurs, such as schools, hospitals, and universities. If you are not immune, you can take steps to protect yourself and others through vaccination. This test provides clear, reliable information to guide your healthcare decisions.

No special preparation required.

For blood tests, we recommend drinking plenty of water beforehand to ensure smooth sample collection. If you are taking any regular medication, continue to do so unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
