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.

Some individuals may not develop detectable antibodies. You can go for vaccine 4 weeks post-recovery. Please go ahead with vaccination.

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?

I recovered from COVID on 17 May. My COVID IgG test on 1 June showed a value of 18. My temperature is still around 99F. I am also experiencing excessive hair loss post COVID. My doctor advised getting vaccinated six months after recovery.

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.
