Question
My step daughters, who are 6 and 8 years old, recently migrated to the US and I am having difficulties getting their immunization records. Is there a simple antibody test that can be done at the doctor's office that can determine what vaccines they have had over the years and what are needed. Thanks.
Answer
You can get the antibody titres for diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus. Also polio titres can be done. For BCG look for the scar on the left deltoid.
You can also check the antibody titres for measles, mumps and rubella and H.influenza titres.
