What is the MMR serology test?

A blood test that measures antibodies in your serum to confirm long-term immunity to measles, mumps and rubella, or detect a recent or active infection.

Definition

Serology measures specific IgG antibodies produced by your immune system. A positive IgG result indicates long-term immunity from past infection or vaccination. A negative result suggests vaccination is needed to establish protection.

At Mediway, samples are processed on HSA-registered immunoassay platforms (CLIA or ELISA) at an accredited Singapore reference laboratory. A typical report is ready within one to three working days, with an optional same-day 4pm report when the sample is drawn before 9am.

Who should take this test?

Six groups commonly take MMR serology at Mediway. The test is most useful when your vaccination history is uncertain or documented evidence is required.

Adults missing records

Common

Adults without documented two-dose MMR records or with uncertain immunity status. Confirms whether catch-up vaccination is needed.

Women planning pregnancy

Pre-pregnancy

Rubella infection during early pregnancy can cause serious birth defects. Confirming rubella immunity before conception is widely recommended.

Healthcare & childcare workers

Occupational

Hospital, clinic, preschool and childcare staff often require documented MMR immunity for employment. Serology provides written evidence.

MDW employers (alt path)

MOM Jun 2025

Per MOM regulation effective June 2025, MDW employers may provide a positive measles IgG serology result as evidence of immunity instead of vaccination.

Travellers

Travel

Pre-departure proof of immunity for travel to areas with active measles transmission. Some employers and embassies request documented serology.

Family & children

Verification

Parents who want to verify post-vaccination immunity in older children, especially before school entry or international travel.

Understanding your result

Three common result patterns for IgG antibody testing. Our doctor reviews your full report and discusses next steps with you.

IgG +

Immune

Most common outcome. You have lasting protection from past infection or vaccination. No further action is usually required.

No further action
IgG −

Not immune

No detectable IgG antibodies at protective levels. MMR vaccination is generally recommended to establish immunity.

Book MMR vaccine
Equivocal

Inconclusive

Borderline result. Retesting in two to four weeks is usually advised to clarify your immunity status.

Book retest

For MDW employers (MOM Jun 2025)

From June 2025, employers of incoming migrant domestic workers from selected countries must provide evidence of measles immunity. Serology is one of the accepted forms.

Acceptable evidence

Documented two-dose MMR record, OR a positive measles IgG serology result, OR completion of MMR vaccination at a Singapore GP clinic. Serology is faster than re-vaccination if your MDW already has prior exposure or vaccination history.

Employer pathway: 4 steps
1 Step 1
Arrange test on arrival

Bring the MDW to Mediway. Walk in or pre-book via WhatsApp. No referral needed.

2 Step 2
Bring identification

MDW work permit / passport, plus any prior vaccination records if available.

3 Step 3
Receive report

Standard 1 to 3 working days. Same-day 4pm option +$30 when blood is drawn before 9am.

4 Step 4
Submit to MOM

Provide the report to MOM as evidence of measles immunity. If IgG is negative, MMR vaccination is the next step.

How the appointment works

A typical serology visit at Mediway takes about 15 minutes for the blood draw, plus your report turnaround.

01
Book

Book or walk in

Online booking, WhatsApp, or walk in during operating hours. Bring photo ID and any prior vaccination records.

02
Blood draw

Single venepuncture

Approximately 5ml of venous blood drawn from a vein in your arm into a serum separator tube. Takes about 5 minutes.

03
Lab processing

HSA-registered platform

Sample sent to an accredited Singapore reference laboratory. IgG antibodies measured by chemiluminescent immunoassay or ELISA.

04
Report

Report and clinician review

Digital report ready in 1 to 3 working days (or same-day 4pm with the +$30 add-on, sample drawn before 9am). Our doctor reviews and advises on next steps.

Sample requirements and turnaround

Practical details for what to expect on the day.

What to expect
· Specimen
~5ml venous blood

Single venepuncture into a serum separator tube (SST / gold-top). Standard for serology.

· Fasting
Not required

Eat normally before your appointment. Stay well hydrated to make the blood draw easier.

· Bring
Photo ID + prior records

NRIC, passport, or work permit. Plus any vaccination records (NIR printout / overseas card) if available.

Your next step depends on your result

Two common outcomes, two clear actions. Our doctor reviews your full report and confirms the right path for you.

IgG − If not immune Recommended action

Get the MMR vaccine

A negative IgG result is common when childhood vaccination records are incomplete. The MMR vaccine establishes long-lasting protection.

$60 per dose
2 doses
4-8 weeks gap
Book MMR vaccine
Equivocal If borderline Recommended action

Retest in 2 to 4 weeks

Equivocal results are uncommon but not unusual. Retesting after a short interval typically gives a clearer reading of your immunity status.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about MMR serology testing at Mediway. For anything specific to your situation, please speak with our doctor.

01 How much does a measles serology test cost in Singapore?

At Mediway, each antibody test is priced individually (GST inclusive): Measles IgG is $120, Mumps IgG is $100, and Rubella IgG is $100. Tests can be ordered separately or together in a single blood draw. A same-day 4pm report is available for an additional $30 when the blood is drawn before 9am.

02 Measles IgG positive: is it good or bad?

A positive measles IgG result generally indicates immunity from past infection or vaccination. It is considered protective in most healthy adults. Speak with a doctor if you are immunocompromised, pregnant, or have a history that may affect interpretation.

03 Can I order just one of the three tests?

Yes. Measles IgG ($120), Mumps IgG ($100), and Rubella IgG ($100) are each priced and ordered individually. You can choose only the test you need, or combine two or three in a single blood draw. Speak with our doctor if you are unsure which test is appropriate for your situation.

04 What if my IgG is negative?

A negative IgG means antibodies were not detected at protective levels. MMR vaccination is generally recommended. The MMR vaccine at Mediway is $60 per dose; two doses spaced four to eight weeks apart provide long-lasting protection.

05 Do I need to fast before the test?

No. Fasting is not required for an MMR serology test. Eat normally before your appointment and stay well hydrated; this makes the blood draw more comfortable.

06 How long does it take to get results?

Standard turnaround is 1 to 3 working days. A same-day 4pm report is available for an additional $30 when the sample is drawn before 9am.

07 Can I do this blood test at a polyclinic?

Polyclinics can draw blood for selected serology when clinically indicated, usually with a referral. At Mediway, measles, mumps and rubella IgG serology tests are available walk-in or pre-booked without referral, with same-day report option.

08 Is serology accepted under MOM rules for MDWs?

Yes. Per the MOM regulation effective June 2025, a positive measles IgG serology result is one of the accepted forms of evidence for the measles immunity requirement, alongside a documented two-dose MMR record or completion of MMR vaccination at a Singapore GP clinic.
