DOH: Antibody test not recommended after COVID-19 vaccination

Published July 11, 2021, 1:32 PM DOH/MB Antibody testing should not be used to determine if a vaccinated person has already developed enough protection against coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the Department of Health (DOH) said. “Yung antibody test na sinasagawa sa inyo, ang pinapakita niyan primarily would be yung antibodies nyo (The antibody test, it shows primarily your antibodies) because you had an infection, but it is not going to give you an accurate level of antibody because you were vaccinated. So huwag niyong sayangin yung inyong resources para dito sa pagpapatest ng antibody (So don’t waste your resources on antibody testing),” said DOH Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire.

Allergy experts caution public vs taking antibody testing after COVID-19 vaccination

(JUAN CARLO DE VELA / MANILA BULLETIN) 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.
