Checks your immunity to rubella and varicella through IgG antibody levels. Commonly used by women planning a pregnancy to confirm they're protected against both viruses.
2 biomarkers as listed by Medichecks.
This test checks for IgG antibodies to rubella and varicella zoster, which indicate whether you're immune to these viruses, most often because of past infection or vaccination. It's commonly used by women planning a pregnancy, since rubella, and less commonly varicella, can cause serious complications for an unborn baby if contracted during pregnancy.
There's no named group of directly comparable rubella and varicella tests on the site, but among the 88 similarly sized immunity tests we track, £99 sits around a fifth below the £124.63 median. Collection requires a venous draw at a clinic or a home nurse visit; there's no at-home finger-prick option.
The two-marker panel gives this test a solid clinical depth score relative to similarly sized immunity tests, and it scores well on value given its price against the category median. It scores lower on collection convenience because of the clinic-based venous draw, though a home nurse visit is available. As with all Medichecks tests, your result comes with a doctor's comment.
This is a sensible choice if you're planning a pregnancy, or are already pregnant and have been advised to check your immunity status, and want both rubella and varicella covered in one test alongside a doctor's comment on the result.
The sheet doesn't identify a directly comparable rubella and varicella test from another provider, so there's no specific cheaper or deeper alternative to point to here.
This is a blood test taken via a venous draw at a Medichecks clinic or through a home nurse visit; there isn't a finger-prick option for this one. Your sample is processed at one of Medichecks' partner labs once it arrives, with a doctor reviewing the result. Turnaround runs to around 3 days.
£99 covers both rubella and varicella immunity checks here, around a fifth below the £124.63 median for similarly sized immunity tests we track. It's commonly used by women planning a pregnancy, though it needs a clinic or nurse-visit blood draw.
