Hello Doctor. I faced coronavirus symptoms and did not go for any test, but now I have fully recovered. After 4 weeks, I took an antibody test by Thyrocare. My IgG antibody level is 1.89 and total antibody level is 4.34. I want to ask if the level of antibodies is low and will I be safe from future coronavirus infections? My second question is when should I go for the vaccine? I have also attached my test report. Please have a look.

Your antibody levels are modest and may not provide strong future protection. Vaccination is advised 4 to 8 weeks post infection for robust immunity. Please take the vaccine accordingly.

I have done an Antibody IgM ELISA test for my mom and dad after both doses of vaccination and after they recovered from COVID 19, but the test results show no antibodies. Can you please explain the report interpretation and is there anything to worry about?

Hello, I was diagnosed COVID 19 positive with mild symptoms and quarantined at home while taking necessary precautions and medications. My follow up test was conducted and I received a negative result. I want to get an antibody test done, but I have been told that it is necessary to wait a few days after recovery for antibodies to form. Could you please advise exactly when I will be eligible for the antibody test? Additionally, if the test shows sufficient antibodies, when would I be eligible to donate plasma?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I recovered from Covid on May 2 and was tested positive on April 15. Should I get vaccinated now or should I wait for a few weeks? I took an antibody test last week and no antibodies were found in my report.
