If you are interested in PRE and POST vaccination testing, please follow these instructions:

  • PRE and POST samples should be tested together on the same run to avoid variation in results caused by lot to lot and inter assay variation.
  • It is recommended that two PRE tubes be drawn. Save one PRE serum frozen.
  • The other can be sent to determine the need to vaccinate.
  • If patient already has protective values, there is no need to revaccinate and test a POST sample.
  • If PRE results do not show protective values, send the saved PRE sample together with the POST vaccination sample.
