A member asked:

My rubella result was 1:16 for my prenatal blood work but they told me i had to redo blood work saying that my result was low. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Immunity waning: You received your rubella vaccine probably over 30 years ago and your protection from the vaccine had dropped over time. You would probably need a booster to bring your immunity back up.
