Overview of Delaware Regulations

Delaware Antibody Industry Regulations

Delaware titer test regulations and vaccination laws do not require employers to mandate vaccines among their employees. However, as of 2021, Delaware state employees and healthcare workers must receive the COVID-19 vaccine or otherwise submit to regular testing. Healthcare workers are those in long-term care facilities such as nursing homes, assisted living facilities, group homes, family care homes, and acute and outpatient facilities including hospitals, adult daycares, and outpatient surgery centers.

Apart from COVID-19, Delaware titer test regulations and vaccination laws do not require employers to mandate titer testing or vaccinations for healthcare workers. Although Delaware antibody test regulations and vaccination laws are nearly nonexistent in the state, employers that are concerned about the transmission of contagious diseases are advised to follow federal guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is different from federal regulations?

Delaware titer test regulations and vaccination laws do not require employers to mandate vaccinations or titer tests in the workplace.

In addition, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends that workers who are in ” areas of substantial or high community transmission” be vaccinated for COVID-19.

Why are antibody tests (titer tests) important?

Since vaccinations are not required in Delaware, titer tests can check for immunity to communicable diseases among employees, ensuring safety in the workplace. If an employee does not show the presence of antibodies, vaccination should be considered.

How much do antibody tests cost?

The price for Delaware antibody tests varies, depending on the lab and disease being tested. A single antibody test may range from $100 to $200. Some testing sites offer packages that include multiple tests at a discounted rate.

Does Delaware require you to test?

Delaware titer test regulations and vaccination laws do not require titer tests or vaccinations, except for COVID-19. State and healthcare employees that are not vaccinated against COVID-19 must submit to routine testing. Antibody testing might be considered to show immunity to these diseases.

What do titer tests test for?

Titer tests check for the presence of antibodies of certain communicable diseases in the blood. These diseases include measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis, varicella, influenza, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, and meningitis. The presence of antibodies proves immunity to these diseases.

What does a positive titer test mean?

Titer tests check for the presence of antibodies in the blood to certain diseases. A positive titer test indicates immunity to a particular disease. If an employee has a negative titer test, vaccination should be considered.
