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. Reports are typically ready in up to 10 working days.
Authority
Measles is a notifiable disease under Singapore’s Infectious Diseases Act. If you have current symptoms suggestive of measles infection (fever, cough, conjunctivitis, rash), please seek immediate clinical assessment.
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.
Common
Adults missing records
Adults without documented two-dose MMR records or with uncertain immunity status. Confirms whether catch-up vaccination is needed.
Pre-pregnancy
Women planning pregnancy
Rubella infection during early pregnancy can cause serious birth defects. Confirming rubella immunity before conception is widely recommended.
Occupational
Healthcare & childcare workers
Hospital, clinic, preschool and childcare staff often require documented MMR immunity for employment. Serology provides written evidence.
MOM Jun 2025
MDW employers (alt path)
Per MOM regulation effective June 2025, MDW employers may provide a positive measles IgG serology result as evidence of immunity instead of vaccination.
Travel
Travellers
Pre-departure proof of immunity for travel to areas with active measles transmission. Some employers and embassies request documented serology.
Verification
Family & children
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.
Equivocal
Inconclusive
Borderline result. Retesting in two to four weeks is usually advised to clarify your immunity status.
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

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
Get the MMR vaccine
$60 per dose 2 doses 4-8 weeks gap
Recommended action
A negative IgG result is common when childhood vaccination records are incomplete. The MMR vaccine establishes long-lasting protection.
Equivocal If borderline
Retest in 2 to 4 weeks
Recommended action
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.
01How 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. Report turnaround is up to 10 working days.
02Measles 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.
03Can 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.
04What 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.
05Do 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.
06How long does it take to get results?
Report turnaround is up to 10 working days. We will send your results via your preferred contact channel as soon as the laboratory releases them.
07Can 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. Report turnaround is up to 10 working days.
08Is 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.
