Overview of Florida Regulations
Florida Antibody Testing Regulations
Florida titer test regulations and vaccination laws do not require vaccines or titer testing. However, certain high-risk industries such as healthcare may require certain vaccinations and should consider titer testing to help ensure the safety of their employees.
Although there are virtually no Florida antibody test regulations, federal guidelines should still be considered. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) offer immunization recommendations to healthcare workers and employees that are at risk for exposure to contagious and harmful diseases.
OSHA does not require COVID-19 vaccines but requires that employers develop policies regarding COVID-19 vaccination. Since COVID-19 vaccinations are not required in Florida, titer testing can be used to determine the presence of antibodies against this highly-transmissible disease.
Since Florida titer test regulations and vaccination laws do not require employers to mandate testing or vaccinations of any communicable disease, titer tests can determine if an employee is immune to these diseases. Proving immunity with titer testing prevents unnecessary or duplicate vaccinations and ensures a safe workplace.

Relevant Florida Laws, Acts, and Legislation
Fla. Stat. § 1006.69 Vaccination against meningococcal meningitis and hepatitis B – This law requires colleges and universities to provide students with information about hepatitis B and meningococcal meningitis, including the risks, availability and effectiveness of vaccines. It also requires students living in on-campus housing to provide documentation of vaccinations. However, a student or parent can acknowledge receipt of the information and decline the vaccinations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are antibody tests (titer tests) important?
Since Florida titer test regulations do not require titer testing and vaccinations, titer tests are used to ensure safety in the workplace. Titer tests check for the presence of antibodies in the blood and determine immunity to a specific disease.
How much do antibody tests cost?
The cost of Florida antibody tests varies with different tests, but they generally range from $100-$200 for a single test. Many companies offering titer and antibody tests offer package deals for multiple tests at a discounted rate.
Does Florida require you to test?
Florida antibody test regulations generally do not require employers to test for certain communicable diseases. However, employers may choose to comply with federal guidelines set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
What do titer tests test for?
Titer tests look for the presence of antibodies in the blood to determine if an individual has immunity to a certain disease. Common titer tests include MMR, Tdap, meningitis, hepatitis (A. B, and C), influenza, and varicella.
What does a positive titer test mean?
Florida titer tests (antibody tests) analyze the blood for the presence of antibodies of a particular disease. The presence of antibodies determines that an individual has developed immunity to that disease. A person with a negative titer test should consider vaccination.
How long are titer tests good for?
Titer test results are records of whether a person has tested positive or negative for immunity against certain diseases. Depending on the type of disease, some employers may require employees to periodically test for antibodies, and may require employees to receive certain vaccinations before they are permitted to work. The frequency of testing depends on many factors, including the industry and the type of disease or vaccine.
