Titers
The important points to remember when considering titers are:
** Titers are a blood test that measure humoral immunity (antibodies in the blood); they cannot measure cellular immunity.
** There can be a positive titer result, but no cellular immunity present (meaning, they could get the disease in question)
** There can be a negative titer result, yet cellular immunity can be present (meaning, they would be able to attempt to fight the disease)
In a nutshell, whether a positive or negative result - titers can only tell you a small part of the picture; they are not definitive or conclusive in terms of guidance in whether to vaccinate, or not.
