Arkansas Titer Testing

Overview of Arkansas Regulations
Arkansas Antibody Testing Regulations
For reasons such as college enrollment and employment in certain industries, an individual may be required to undergo antibody testing to prove immunity against various disease types, including chickenpox and now more recently, COVID-19. If you require antibody testing, it's important to remain aware of any antibody testing laws in the state of Arkansas.
Under current Arkansas law, there are no laws or regulations which mandate that residents must undergo antibody testing for any sort of reason. However, for situations such as school enrollment or job employment that would require various vaccinations, a titer test can be used to prove immunity, possibly eliminating the need to comply with certain vaccination requirements.
In fact, Arkansas lawmakers recently enacted SB 739 in regards to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and Arkansas antibody testing. Under this law, employers who mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for workers must now offer exemption to such mandates by allowing employees to undergo antibody testing twice per year as proof of immunity. Bear in mind, such laws are subject to change as the COVID-19 landscape continues to evolve.
Arkansas Antibody Industry Regulations
Certain industries such as healthcare, may mandate that workers show proof of vaccination or antibody testing to demonstrate immunity against various diseases like hepatitis B and measles. However, in the state of Arkansas, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states there are
currently no immunization requirements for healthcare workers outside of ongoing changes to COVID-19 compliance. In regards to COVID-19 vaccination/antibody testing requirements, refer to your current workplace policy for specific guidance, as mandates can vary from facility to facility.
Under Arkansas law, hospitals have a plan in place to ensure that "all health care workers who are exposed to blood and other potentially infectious body fluids are offered immunizations for hepatitis B." A hepatitis B titer test can be used to demonstrate immunity before undergoing vaccination.
Beyond Arkansas titer test regulations in the healthcare industry, we can find them in the education field as well. For certain colleges and universities in Arkansas, on-campus students must provide proof of immunity from Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR). This process can be completed with either proof of vaccination or with the results of an Arkansas antibody test.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are antibody tests important?
Antibody testing can determine if a person has immunity against certain diseases. This process may be necessary for those who are unsure of their vaccination status, or for employers that require proof of immunity to diseases. Testing for antibodies in the blood is also commonly performed to avoid unnecessary vaccinations for someone who has already developed immunity.
How much do antibody tests (titer tests) cost?
This depends on which type of antibody test is ordered. Health Street offers a variety of individual antibody testing services as well as package deals. For a comprehensive list of antibody tests and pricing, take a look at our antibody test registration page.
How long are titer tests good for?
Titer test results are records of whether a person has tested positive or negative for immunity against certain diseases. Depending on the type of disease, some employers may require employees to periodically test for antibodies, and may require employees to receive certain vaccinations before they are permitted to work. The frequency of testing depends on many factors, including the industry and the type of disease or vaccine.
