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 tested COVID negative last month, but I had all the COVID symptoms and all my family members were positive, so it was most likely a false negative. Now, if my antibody test shows that I was actually infected with the virus, can I donate plasma based on that antibody test report?

I had malaria and typhoid 4 months ago and at that time I did not test for COVID. My doctor asked me to do a test now because I have had muscle pain since then. I did an antibody test and I have attached my report. Please let me know whether I had COVID in the past? My value after 4 months is 0.063. Please help.

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?
