In a statement released on Saturday, July 10, PSAAI said that antibody tests have not been evaluated and validated to assess the level of protection afforded by the immune response after COVID-19 vaccination.
It added that inaccurately interpreted antibody test results may “create a false sense of protection, making people more complacent with lesser observation of health care protocols.”
The experts noted that the level of antibody that will provide protection against COVID-19 “remains undetermined” and neither a “positive” qualitative nor a “high” qualitative test result can tell if a person has enough protection against COVID-19 after vaccination.
