New Hampshire Titer Testing
Some New Hampshire employers require antibody testing, also known as titer testing, as part of their pre-employment screening process. Existing employees may also be tested periodically as part of the process to ensure safety in the workplace, especially for industries such as healthcare or education. Titer testing is the first step to determining if someone is immune to certain diseases, such as varicella (Chickenpox), hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, measles, mumps, rubella, or COVID-19. If the antibody test indicates that an individual is not immune, Health Street can also provide services for vaccines and immunizations.

Overview of New Hampshire Regulations
New Hampshire Antibody Industry Regulations
There are no New Hampshire antibody test regulations that require immunizations or antibody testing for healthcare workers. New Hampshire titer test and vaccine laws do not require hospitals to ensure employees receive the MMR vaccine. However, if the facility experiences a case of measles, then that facility must offer the measles vaccine to vulnerable workers. Hospitals and residential care facilities are required to offer an annual influenza vaccine to all consenting employees.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does New Hampshire require you to titer test?
There are no New Hampshire titer test or vaccination laws requiring vaccinations or titer tests. In some cases, employers may be required to offer vaccines to employees. For example, hospitals are required to provide the influenza vaccine to employees, but employees are not required to be vaccinated.
Some universities in New Hampshire require students and faculty to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Universities may require the vaccination of students with MMR, Meningococcal, Tdap, and Varicella vaccines. However, in New Hampshire, titer tests may be acceptable in place of vaccination in some cases.
What is different from federal regulations?
New Hampshire titer test regulations and vaccine requirements are nearly nonexistent. However, the federal Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sets vaccination and titer testing guidelines. The CDC recommends healthcare workers be vaccinated or show immunity to hepatitis B, influenza, varicella, measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (Tdap), and meningitis. In New Hampshire, titer tests may determine immunity to these communicable diseases and prevent unnecessary vaccinations.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends vaccination for COVID-19 to protect employees and strongly recommends offering employees paid time off to receive the vaccine and recover from its side effects.
Why are antibody tests (titer tests) important?
Since New Hampshire does not require vaccinations, titer testing can be used to check for immunity among employees to certain diseases. Immunity in the workplace is important to help prevent the spread of dangerous and contagious diseases.
What do titer tests test for?
Titer tests check for antibodies of specific contagious diseases in the blood. New Hampshire titer tests include measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), COVID-19, hepatitis A, B, and C, and Varicella. The presence of antibodies to these diseases means that person has immunity.
What does a positive titer test mean?
A titer test is a blood draw that detects antibodies to certain contagious diseases such as varicella, hepatitis and COVID-19. A positive test means that antibodies for a particular disease were detected, and that person has immunity to the disease.
What is an antibody titer score?
To produce an antibody titer score, a person's serum is diluted and then retested for antibodies. If antibodies can still be detected, then the serum is diluted and then tested again. This process is repeated until the person's serum has been diluted as much as possible, but the presence of antibodies can still be detected.
