About this test

What is this test for?

Demonstrated immunity helps determine whether vaccination is necessary and provides documentation for occupational health or antenatal records. A negative result may prompt immunisation where clinically appropriate.


What does this test measure?

The test detects IgG antibodies directed against the Varicella Zoster virus, the virus responsible for chicken pox and shingles. Presence of these antibodies indicates previous infection or successful vaccination.


When is this test recommended?

Varicella IgG testing may be required to confirm immunity, particularly in healthcare workers, pregnant individuals, or those preparing for immunosuppressive treatment. It is often performed when vaccination history is unclear.
