Why am I required to have the varicella antibody titer if I know I had chickenpox as a child?
You must have proof of immunity which can be shown by a lab test (varicella antibody titer). You may get this test at UHS and the cost is $40 for UTHSC students. If you have a negative titer, you must get the shots to prevent you from getting the disease. This is a series of 2 shots for a cost of $200 and can be given at UHS.
