FAQs
These viruses are spread via direct contact with or droplets shed from respiratory secretions, saliva, or mucus from the throat, mouth, or nose of infected individuals. They are easily transmitted from person to person through coughing or sneezing.
If your test results detect antibodies below a certain level, it may indicate that you are at an increased risk for infection if you are exposed to someone with measles, mumps, or rubella. You should share your results with your healthcare provider, who can help you decide on next steps for care.
People who receive the recommended dose of the MMR vaccine are usually considered protected for life against measles and rubella. However, a small number of people may still become infected if they are exposed to the viruses that cause these diseases.
If your test results do not show evidence of immunity against measles, mumps, or rubella, or if you have not received the 2 recommended doses of MMR vaccine, it is important to speak with your healthcare provider to determine if additional boosters may be beneficial.
