A member asked:

Will a covid-19 antibody test show antibodies after a covid-19 vaccine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes. Laboratory tests can distinguish between the antibodies from natural infection and antibodies from vaccination. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
