What is the effect of COVID vaccination on antibodies in a 80-year-old male?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for writing, and I understand your concern.

Low values mean that your father does not currently have an active COVID infection. However, they both had exposure previously, so antibodies are formed, which is why the antibody test is positive. Your mother had more exposure; that is why more antibodies are formed, so nothing to worry they are not having any infection at present, and they have got vaccines, so everything will be fine. It does not indicate low or high protection against coronavirus. It just tells about the exposure they have had previously.

If anything else, please let me know.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

No test is required to check the efficiency of the vaccine. This test is significant, and it shows that they have immunity already, so nothing is needed.

Yes, it is possible that they had COVID, which was asymptomatic. However, once a person is vaccinated, and an antibody test is positive, it means everything is fine, so no further testing is required. If you still want to go for testing, you can go for the COVID antibody quantitative test.

And let me know.

Thank you.
