Titers for nursing school

Published

how long are your titers good for? I don't have my childhood immunization record and I had the titers for mmr and hep B done in 1993. Are they still some good? These are for nursing school...

Mine were that old and I did have to get them done again.

I know my nursing school in particular wants recent titers. Those are over 18 years old, so you'll most likely need them re-done.

The only way to know is to contact your school and ask for their specific requirements.

1. It depends on your age and immunity.

2. You will most likely need to get titers again if has been past 2 years. You will just have to give a blood and they will see if you have the antibodies still for specific diseases.

3. If you show low immunity you will need a booster. This most likely be for Tetorifice. TB is tested annually.
