Chickenpox Test
Whether you're preparing for school, employment, pregnancy, or simply want to know if you're protected against chickenpox, the ICare Chickenpox (Varicella-Zoster Virus) Immunity Test provides accurate answers about your immunity to the virus that causes chickenpox.
This blood test detects antibodies to the Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV), helping determine whether you've developed immunity from a previous infection or vaccination. Knowing your immune status can help guide important healthcare decisions and reduce the risk of infection.
With ICare's concierge mobile laboratory services, immunity testing is convenient, accurate, and brought directly to your home, office, or preferred location.
What Does This Test Measure?
The Chickenpox Immunity Test measures Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV) IgG antibodies in your blood.
These antibodies indicate whether your immune system has developed protection against the virus through:
Previous chickenpox infection
Chickenpox vaccination
The presence of VZV IgG antibodies generally indicates immunity, while the absence of antibodies may suggest that you have not developed immunity and could be susceptible to infection.
This test evaluates immunity—it is not intended to diagnose an active chickenpox or shingles infection.
Who Should Consider This Test?
The Chickenpox Immunity Test may be recommended for individuals who:
Are unsure if they've had chickenpox
Do not know their vaccination history
Are preparing for pregnancy
Are currently pregnant (as recommended by their healthcare provider)
Work in healthcare, education, or childcare
Need proof of immunity for school or employment
Have been exposed to someone with chickenpox
Want to confirm immunity before international travel
This test is also valuable for adults who are uncertain whether they received the chickenpox vaccine during childhood.
