Good evening doctors. what would it mean if a person who is fully vaccinated sides not show antibodies on a blood test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They were likely tested for the wrong antibodies. The routine testing for antibodies found after wild covid disease are not the same as those triggered by the vaccines. Testing for vaccine generated antibodies are available, but not widely used.
