free titers?
 
Here at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities,  MMR titers are done without charge.  Apparently it is covered by student health fees.  Maybe other schools do the same thing for their students.
 
When someone donates blood, that blood is tested for Hepatitis A and B antibody levels.  Someone I know was told she was positive for hepatitis A after she donated blood.
