What’s happening with Covid-19 Vaccine Research?
In two studies published recently, there were the first signs that humans can become immune to SARS-CoV-2. This is fantastic news.
More studies are needed to show how long immunity lasts. These two papers do show that antibody testing is effective at showing if you have already developed immunity to this virus.
To clarify, there are two types of tests:
- Swab (PCR)
- Does show if you are currently infected
- Does not show if you have developed immunity
- Antibody testing (blood or urine)
- Does show if have developed immunity
- Does not show if you are currently infected
