Blood Tests to Determine Immunity
If you think you've been vaccinated but you're not sure, or if you know you've been vaccinated but don't have documentation, a simple blood test can determine exactly what you're immune to.
The following blood tests (titer tests) are available through Family Healthcare and Minor Emergency Clinic at Â鶹´«Ã½ to students who need proof of having had successful vaccination or immunity provided by disease when no medical records exist. Test results proving immunity will comply with University policy and Â鶹´«Ã½ state statutes regarding immunizations.
Testing can be drawn by appointment only at Â鶹´«Ã½ Student Health Clinic for a one-time $5 draw fee.
Blood is sent to Regional Medical Laboratory for testing. Most results are available within 3-4 business days or sooner.
The student will be sent a Secure Message to his/her student email account with the results as soon as all results are back from the lab.
MMR Immunity: If you don't have documentation proving that either

... you'll need to take the combined test for MMR immunity.
The tests listed below test for immunity to the disease named.
