  • Rubella IgG

About this test

This test measures IgG antibodies to three viruses, measles, mumps and rubella, which tells you whether you've built immunity to them, either through past infection or vaccination. It's commonly used if you're planning a pregnancy, working in healthcare, or need proof of immunity for travel or a job.

With three biomarkers, this places among the more detailed immunity tests we track for its size, though we don't have named competing MMR immunity tests logged to compare it against directly. Its £149 price sits somewhat above the typical range for immunity tests covering a similar number of markers.

The main limitation is convenience: it requires a venous blood draw at a clinic, though a home nurse visit is available if you can't attend one. The listing is otherwise clear about the markers covered, the sample type and the turnaround, and every result comes with a doctor's comment.

Who is it for?

This test suits people who need documented proof of immunity to measles, mumps and rubella, for example ahead of pregnancy, for healthcare work, or for travel or employment requirements. It's a targeted test rather than a general infection screen.

If cost is the main concern, we don't currently have a cheaper like-for-like MMR immunity test logged in our data to compare it against, so weigh the price against your own budget and reason for testing.

How it works

The sample is a venous blood draw, taken at an in-store clinic or via a home nurse visit; there's no at-home finger-prick option for this test. Once it reaches the lab, it's analysed for IgG antibodies to measles, mumps and rubella. Medichecks states a turnaround of around five days, and a doctor adds a comment to your results.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Covers three viruses, measles, mumps and rubella, in a single test.
  • Home nurse visit available if you can't get to a clinic.
  • Doctor's comment included with every result.

Cons

  • No at-home finger-prick option; requires a clinic visit or nurse visit.
  • At £149, it costs more than the typical price for immunity tests of similar size that we track.
  • No named comparable MMR tests in our data to check the price against.

Our editorial score

Compare Health Test Score Three-antibody MMR immunity check, clinic-based
Editorial confidence: 10.0/10

Antibodies to measles, mumps and rubella are checked in this £149 test. We don't have named peer tests in this comparison group, but its price sits somewhat above the typical range for immunity tests of similar size that we track. The main drawback is that the sample must be given at a clinic rather than at home.
