Laboratory parameters |

Rating |
Diphtheria |
Diphtheria antibody |
<0.1 IU/ml |
No vaccine protection detectable → basic immunization required (→ check after 4 weeks) |
0.1-1.0 IU/ml |
Vaccination protection not reliably sufficient → booster required (→ check after 4 weeks) |
1.0-1.4 IU/ml |
Booster recommended after 5 years |
1.5-1.9 IU/ml |
Booster recommended after 7 years |
> 2.0 IU/ml |
Booster recommended after 10 years |
Influenza |
Influenza A/B-IgG-IFT |
≤ 1: 10 |
No sufficient vaccination protection to be assumed |
1: > 10 |
Assume sufficient vaccination protection |
Morbilli (measles) |
Measles IgG ELISA |
<0.15 IU/ml |
No sufficient vaccination protection detectable → basic immunization required |
0.15-0.20 IU/ml |
Questionable vaccination protection → booster recommended |
> 0.20 IU/ml |
Sufficient vaccination protection |
Poliomyelitis (polio) |
Polio neutralization test |
Type 1 |
If all three neutralization tests are 1:16 or higher, immunity to all three poliomyelitis virus types (types 1, 2, 3) is present (= sufficient immune protection) |
type 2 |
Type 3 |
Rubella (German measles) |
anti-rubella virus IgG (ELISA) |
> 15 IU/ml |
Assume immunity |
HAHT |
HAHT 1: < 8 |
No evidence of sufficient vaccination protection → basic immunization required |
HAHT 1: 8 |
Questionable vaccination protection → booster recommended |
HAHT 1: 16 |
HAHT 1: 32 |
Sufficient vaccination protection |

Tetanus IgG ELISA |
<0.1 U/ml |
No sufficient vaccination protection detectable → basic immunization required |
0.1-0.2 U/ml |
Questionable vaccination protection → booster recommended |
> 0.2 U/ml |
Sufficient vaccination protection (→ control in 3 years). |
Varicella (chickenpox)/shingles (varicella zoster virus) |
VCV IgG ELISA |
<60 mIU/ml |
No sufficient vaccination protection detectable → basic immunization recommended |
60-80 mIU/ml |
Vaccination protection questionable → booster recommended |
> 80 mIU/ml |
Sufficient vaccination protection (→ control in 3 years). |
