About the Test
This test measures IgG antibodies to the measles (rubeola) virus, which show whether you have long-term immunity from past infection or vaccination. A positive IgG generally means your immune system recognises measles and can help protect you, while a negative result suggests you may not be immune. It is often used to confirm vaccination status before school, work, travel or pregnancy planning.
What is it? A blood test measuring measles-specific IgG antibodies, indicating immunity to the rubeola virus.
