Frequently asked questions
What does it mean if I am not immune?
It means your body does not show protective antibodies against rubella. Your clinician can discuss whether vaccination is right for you.
Do I need this test if I was vaccinated as a child?
Vaccination usually provides long-term immunity, but antibody levels can decline. A clinician may order the test to confirm your current status.
Is this test the same as a rubella infection test?
No. Immunity testing looks for past exposure or vaccination, while infection testing looks for recent or active infection.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 1 to 3 business days after your blood sample is collected.
