Overview of Idaho Regulations
Idaho Antibody Industry Regulations
Idaho antibody test regulations and vaccine laws generally do not require employers to make vaccines mandatory for employees. But there are some exceptions, such as employees at federally-funded state universities, for example.
Although the state of Idaho doesn't mandate vaccinations among healthcare workers, the state does recommend following the CDC's recommendations.
Although Idaho antibody test regulations and vaccine laws do not require vaccines, some employers may choose to require vaccinations for employees who work with vulnerable vaccinations. In this case, titer testing may be used to determine immunity, ensuring a safe workplace while allowing workers to avoid vaccination if they are already immune to that disease. Idaho employers in high-risk industries may choose to follow federal vaccination recommendations.
In Idaho, high-risk industries include:

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Idaho require you to titer test?
Idaho titer test regulations and vaccination laws do not require employers to mandate titer testing or vaccination among their employees in most situations. However, industries such as healthcare may require employees to be vaccinated against certain communicable diseases to protect vulnerable populations. In this case, titer testing may be used by employees as proof of immunity.
What is different from federal regulations?
Certain vaccines, like influenza and hepatitis, are not required by the state, but recommended under federal guidelines.
Federal guidelines were established from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA).
The CDC recommends that employees in high-risk industries, such as healthcare, receive vaccinations or prove immunity to the following diseases:
In addition to CDC recommendations, OSHA recommends that people in high-risk industries be fully vaccinated for COVID-19.
Why are antibody tests (titer tests) important?
Titer tests in Idaho can be used by employees required to show their immunity to a particular disease, to avoid being vaccinated. Titer testing is used to ensure that a workplace is safe from infectious disease.
How much do antibody tests cost?
The cost of antibody tests varies depending on the lab analyzing the tests and which diseases are being tested for. Antibody tests range from about $100-$200 for one single test. Some companies offer discounted rates for multiple test packages.
What do titer tests test for?
Titer tests check the blood for the presence of antibodies for certain contagious diseases. These diseases include measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, hepatitis, varicella, meningitis, and COVID-19. The presence of antibodies in the blood means that person has immunity.
What does a positive titer test mean?
A positive titer test means that a person's blood contains antibodies for a contagious disease. The presence of antibodies means that an individual has immunity to that disease. A negative test means that person is not immune and should consider vaccination.
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.
