Vaccination Status Test Panel — Expanded
Test the levels of antibodies for 11 infectious diseases from infection or vaccination. The infectious disease markers measured in this panel are tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), measles, mumps, rubella, varicella zoster virus (chickenpox & shingles), polio, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and meningitis. Read moreBy measuring antibody levels, know whether you have been exposed to or vaccinated for tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella, varicella zoster virus, polio, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and meningitis. This blood test for antibodies or vaccination status is useful for those who are unsure about a prior infection or require proof of immunity for school, work, or travel.
Note: This test does not confirm an active infection for any of the diseases besides hepatitis A and B. The results of this test alone do not constitute any diagnoses. A formal diagnosis of any infection, such as hepatitis A or B, must be made by a clinician. This test cannot definitively determine immunity status for tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, varicella zoster virus, polio, and meningitis but it can detect antibodies from previous infection or vaccination.
With Quest, you can buy an immunization antibody test online and get testing at a nearby location – no doctor’s visit required.

Tetanus is not contagious and is spread into someone’s body through broken skin, usually from injuries like punctures, burns, scrapes, and crushes. It can also infect someone’s body through breaks in the skin caused by surgical procedures, insect bites, dental infections, chronic sores and infections, and more.
Diphtheria and pertussis are both highly contagious and spread through the air by coughing, sneezing, or sharing breathing space. Diphtheria can also be spread by touching infected open sores.
Measles, mumps, and rubella 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.
Chickenpox is spread through contact with the blisters, saliva or mucus of an infected person but can also be transmitted through the air by coughing and sneezing. Shingles is spread during the blister-phase of the rash, as the fluid is filled with virus particles. Direct contact with the rash is the most common method of infection, but breathing in virus particles in the air can also occur.
Polio is usually spread through oral contact with stool, or less commonly, droplets from a sneeze or cough from an infected person. Some common ways of contracting polio are through eating contaminated food, drinking contaminated water or putting contaminated objects in your mouth.
Hepatitis A is usually spread through oral contact with stool (usually ingesting contaminated food or water) but can also be spread through close physical contact (such as oral or anal sex).
Hepatitis B is usually spread through bodily fluids, such as blood or semen. This can occur through birth, sharing needles, sex with infected persons, or contact with blood or open sores of an infected person.
Meningitis is usually spread from person to person through respiratory droplets or throat secretions/mucus.
People who receive the recommended doses of the Tdap vaccine are usually considered protected for approximately 10 years. However, a few people may still become infected if they are exposed to the bacteria that cause these diseases.
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.
People who receive the recommended doses of the chickenpox and shingles vaccines are usually considered to have lifelong immunity. However, those at higher risk for shingles, as well as those with weakened immune systems, may need additional vaccination.
People who receive the recommended doses of the polio vaccine are usually considered to have lifelong immunity. However, those at increased risk of exposure may receive 1 lifetime dose of a booster vaccine.
The exact duration of protection for people who receive the recommended doses of a hepatitis A vaccine is unknown, but studies have shown antibodies up to 20 years later.
People who receive the recommended doses of the hepatitis B vaccine are usually considered to have lifelong immunity.
Vaccination for meningitis is specific to the strain being protected against. Speak to your healthcare provider for more information regarding vaccination guidelines for meningitis.
- Tdap provides protection against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis and is given to those who are 7 years or older.
- DTaP provides protection against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis and is given to those who are younger than 7 years old.
- Td provides protection against tetanus and diphtheria and is given to those who should not get pertussis vaccines due to allergies or medical conditions.
You can’t get shingles if you have never had chickenpox.
Chickenpox and shingles are both caused by VZV. When a person who has never had chickenpox encounters someone who has shingles, they may contract chickenpox; however, they cannot get shingles. After a person becomes infected with chickenpox, VZV remains inactive in the body. As a person ages or in those living with a weakened immune system, VZV may reactivate, causing shingles.
