Titer Screening Services
Many contagious diseases have been managed by childhood vaccination efforts, but several of them — including measles, mumps, pertussis (whooping cough) and varicella (chickenpox) — have resurfaced across the nation as immunity levels decrease. To help individuals know if they are immune or require a booster for these preventable diseases, the Division of Health Services offers titer screening services.
