Immunity and occupational health · Plymouth
Check your immunity for work, travel or pregnancy.
Nine immunity tests, from MMR and chickenpox to hepatitis and tetanus. Book the ones you need in one appointment. No GP referral needed.
Why test
A test of protection, not of illness.
An immunity blood test checks whether you have protective antibodies, from a vaccine or from catching the illness before. It does not tell you whether you are unwell now.
People book for a new job in healthcare or care, before pregnancy, before travel, before starting medicine that lowers immunity, or when they cannot find their vaccination records.

Your results
What your results mean.
For most of these tests, a positive result means you are immune. A negative or low result means you are not protected, and a booster may be worth discussing with your GP surgery.
Some results come back borderline. If so, we advise on the best next step.
Blood tests give information. They do not diagnose a condition on their own. We explain your results in the context of your symptoms, medicines and history.

Questions people ask
The things people most often ask before booking.
Booking
Do I need a GP referral or employer letter?
No. If your employer has asked for specific tests, tell us when you book so we cover everything they need.
Will my employer accept the results?
Results come in a clear, professional format suitable for occupational health. Check with your employer first which tests they need, as requirements vary.
Can I combine these with other blood tests?
Usually, yes. Tell us what you need when you book and we will take them in one visit.
Your results
What if I am not immune?
A booster can usually be arranged through your GP surgery. You are welcome to book a follow-up with us to talk it through.
