Overview
Screening
- Screening aids in prevention as well as early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are recommended for people without current symptoms, but for those at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.
- Screening is done to determine whether if the person has acquired an immunity to the disease.
- Blood tests are done to measure the levels of antibodies in the blood which indicates whether the individual has developed an immunity to chickenpox from previous infection or a missed immunisation.
