About this test

This test looks for IgG antibodies to measles, mumps and rubella together. A positive result to any of the three may be indicative of immunity, while results can also come back negative or equivocal for a given marker; it gives a combined picture across all three infections rather than testing for them one at a time.

With 3 markers this test sits well above average for clinical depth, in the 83rd percentile of the immunity and infection tests we track, since most comparable tests in that category cover fewer markers. On price it also does well: at £90.25 it costs around 31% less than the £130.25 median for similarly sized immunity tests. Blue Horizon does not list a directly comparable competitor test for us to name here.

The listing publishes a short description, the three markers, sample type, collection options and turnaround. Collection needs a venous draw at a clinic or a nurse home visit rather than an at-home kit, and results take around 3 days. Results are reviewed by a doctor, and Blue Horizon uses UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs, with a Trustpilot score of 4.2 from 395 reviews.

Who is it for?

This suits someone who needs to check immunity to measles, mumps and rubella together in one go, for example ahead of travel, starting work in healthcare or education, or pregnancy planning, where an employer or GP has asked for evidence across all three rather than measles alone. If you only need to check one of the three, Blue Horizon's separate Measles Antibodies (IgG) Immunity test is cheaper at £41.25.

How it works

You provide a venous blood sample at a clinic or via a nurse home visit; there is no at-home finger-prick option for this test. Results are typically available within around 3 days and are reviewed by a doctor before you receive them.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Covers measles, mumps and rubella antibodies in a single panel.
  • Priced around 31% below the median for comparable immunity tests.
  • Nurse home visit available if you cannot get to a clinic.

Cons

  • No at-home option; requires a venous draw at a clinic or nurse visit.
  • Costs more than testing for measles immunity alone via Blue Horizon's single-marker test.

Our editorial score

Compare Health Test Score Broader 3-in-1 immunity check at a below-average price
Editorial confidence: 10.0/10

Tests IgG antibodies to measles, mumps and rubella in one panel, priced at £90.25, around 31% below the £130.25 median for the immunity tests we track. It covers more ground than most single-marker immunity checks, though it still needs a venous draw rather than an at-home kit.
