Boosters for Single Jabs

Got a letter today suggesting that dd1 has boosters soon for her single jabs, can I just get her tested for immumity, like you can with MMR and leave it at just the one set (we're a bit short of cash at the mo) or do I really need to get her jab'd again with another set of single vaccines. Your opinions please.

Yes you can get immunity tests (can't remember how much it costs - but a lot less than the vaccines themselves). However, I took DD (aged 4) for immunity testing and they couldn't get any blood, they suggested we came back a couple of weeks later, but again couldn't get any blood. But, the clinic (Desumo) said that all the immunity tests they had ever done had come back as immune for all three elements of the MMR. So we decided not to try another immunity test and not to booster. I think I will test her immunity when she's in her early teens.
