Varicella Immunization
Option 1 - I have had Chickenpox
Option 2 - I have been informed that a Titer can be done to determine my immunity. I understand that I can have this Titer at my expense. I also understand that should the Titer indicate that I am non-immune to varicella (the virus that causes chickenpox); it is recommended that I obtain the varicella immunization, also at my expense. I wish to obtain the Titer and if necessary, the vaccine and will provide proof of these prior to work.
