Measles, mumps and rubella are three highly contagious viral diseases that can all lead to serious health concerns. 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. Those with any symptoms of measles, mumps, or rubella infection or recently been exposed should contact a health care provider for next steps.
Preparation: No special preparation needed.
Measles is circulating, and communities may be at risk. In 2019, the CDC confirmed more than 1,000 individual cases of measles across 31 states.
This is the highest increase of reported measles cases in the U.S. since 1992.¹
Consider getting tested if you’re unsure if you’ve ever had a measles, mumps, or rubella infection or the MMR vaccine or you want to find out if you’re still immune from a previous vaccination or prior resolved infection.

Your immunity may have declined over time.²
It is important to get MMR before becoming pregnant to reduce the risk of becoming infected with rubella which can pass on to the unborn child, causing Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS).

CRS can cause severe birth defects and neurodevelopmental problems.³

Measles immunity can be shown through prior vaccination records that documents you have received the MMR vaccine doses. An MMR immunity blood test can also detect the presence of measles antibodies in your system which may indicate immunity in response to a prior case of measles or vaccination.
A positive measles IgG antibody result indicates that your immune system has developed immunity to measles, either through a previous vaccination or past exposure to the measles virus.7 Our MMR immunity test can let you know if you’re still immune from a previous vaccination or prior resolved infection.
Your testing will be performed in a CLIA-certified clinical laboratory. Labcorp provides leading-edge medical laboratory tests and services through a national network of primary clinical laboratories and specialty testing laboratories.
