How much does a MMR titer test cost? ›

How much does an MMR Titer cost? An MMR Titer begins at $249.

This test looks for antibodies to 3 diseases: measles, mumps, and rubella. The test can find out whether you are immune to the 3 diseases. All 3 are quite contagious. If you've had them or been vaccinated against them, your immune system made antibodies to fight the viruses that cause them.

Antibody tests require a blood sample. Molecular tests often use a sample of blood or fluid from your mouth, throat, or nose: Blood test. During a blood test, a health care professional will take a blood sample from a vein in your arm, using a small needle.

People who receive two doses of MMR are generally considered protected for life so there is no need for a booster dose later on.

Titers are blood tests that quantify antibodies or antigens present to determine immunity to a certain disease. How do I get titers done? Visit your healthcare provider and provide them with the College Immunization form. Note that many health insurance companies do not cover titers.

Do adults need to get MMR? ›

Adults should also be up to date on MMR vaccinations with either 1 or 2 doses (depending on risk factors) unless they have other presumptive evidence of immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella. One dose of MMR vaccine, or other presumptive evidence of immunity, is sufficient for most adults.

If you're unsure whether you've been vaccinated, you should first try to find your vaccination records. If you do not have written documentation of MMR vaccine, you should get vaccinated. The MMR vaccine is safe, and there is no harm in getting another dose if you may already be immune to measles, mumps, or rubella.

Two doses of the MMR vaccine are needed for maximum life-long protection, with the first dose given around a person's first birthday, and the second dose given at around three years and four months.

CDC recommends children get two doses of MMR vaccine, starting with the first dose at 12 through 15 months of age, and the second dose at 4 through 6 years of age. Teens and adults also should also be up to date on their MMR vaccination.

If you were born before 1957, you have what is called “presumptive immunity” to measles, mumps and rubella, the three viruses we vaccinate against with the MMR shot.

This titer test can be used to determine your immunity for measles, mumps and rubella antibodies developed either by previous exposure or vaccination. Note: This test is not intended to be used to diagnose a current active infection.

Adults may also be vaccinated. The vaccine is very effective—for example, one dose is estimated to be 93% effective at preventing measles, with two doses at 97%.
