- Measles and mumps IgG antibody testing may be used to provide laboratory evidence of immunity in individuals without documented MMR vaccination or prior infection.
- Measles IgG antibody testing may be indicated in high-risk settings such as healthcare employment, school entry, international travel, close contacts of immunocompromised people, people with HIV, adults who received inactivated measles vaccine (used 1963-1967).
- Routine screening in the general population is not recommended. IgG testing prior to are after vaccination is unnecessary. IgG testing is not appropriate for diagnosing acute infection, where IgM or PCR should be used instead. Detailed information on Measles testing is available through the Measles Resources link.
