About the Tetanus & Diphtheria IgG Immunity Test - Titer Testing
A tetanus and diphtheria titer test checks the blood for antibodies against the toxins produced by the tetanus and diphtheria bacteria. It helps show whether a person has protective antibody levels from prior vaccination or, less commonly, past infection. People may order it when their vaccination history is unclear, when a booster decision is being considered, or for documentation purposes. The test uses a blood sample and reports each antibody separately. A healthcare provider interprets the levels to help judge whether protection is likely.
Who this test may be right for
- People whose tetanus or diphtheria vaccination history is uncertain
- Individuals considering whether a booster dose is needed
- People who need documentation of immunity
- Those with a possible wound or exposure concern who want to check status
- Individuals whose healthcare provider wants to confirm antibody levels
What this test measures
- Tetanus IgG antibody (antitetanus toxoid) Antibodies against tetanus toxin that generally reflect protection from vaccination.
- Diphtheria IgG antibody (antidiphtheria toxoid) Antibodies against diphtheria toxin that generally reflect protection from vaccination.
Before your visit
- No fasting is required for this blood test
- A standard blood draw is used to collect the sample
- Bring any vaccination records you have
- Tell the lab about any medications that affect the immune system
Understanding your results
Each antibody is reported separately. A protective level of tetanus or diphtheria IgG generally suggests adequate immunity, while a low level may indicate that protection is uncertain and that a booster could be considered. Antibody levels can decline over time, so results are interpreted with vaccination history. A healthcare provider can explain whether your tetanus and diphtheria levels suggest you are protected. Discuss results with a healthcare provider before making any decisions.
