What is a titer? A titer is a simple blood draw to determine if someone still has antibodies to a particular vaccine, the covid antibody test is a titer for either covid or the covid vaccine.

Titers are used in many different environments for e.g. organizations that rely heavily on treating patients like hospitals, organizations exposed to potential blood or contact exposure. Titers keeps everyone safe from disease like Tuberculosis, Hepatitis, Measels, Mumps and Rubella and other potential diseases that have a high exposure of spreading easily and quickly. Any organization can request titers for these reasons.

Titers we do
1. MMR
2. Hepatitis B
3. Varicella
4. TDap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis)
5. Tuberculosis

This test is conducted as a simple blood draw called QuantiFERON TB Gold test. The QuantiFERON TB Gold Test is a better test, as the donor does not need to return to the lab to get results unlike the skin test that requires the donor to return to the lab for further observation. This method is less intrusive than the skin test as the skin needs to be punctured to get a reaction to the bacteria.
