Quantifying Antibodies - Critical Requirement

As Vaccines begin to get distributed and administered there remain so many questions.

With less than 100% effectiveness, is the patient infected?....(and did the vaccine work?)     
How long will the antibodies last from any given vaccine?
How long do the antibodies last after Covid infection?   
What quantity of antibodies are needed in order to provide protection?
How much will the virus adapt over time?
How do you determine when someone needs an additional vaccine?
 
All of these questions are best answered with a quick, highly sensitive and accurate quantitative antibody test.  Regardless of the Covid question, SQI's antibody test is poised to answer all of these ongoing questions.  

Stay tuned and well informed!

Not only should the medical focus its support (vaccines) on the degree of risk an individual might face from a (1) job perspective (e.g front line medical worker), and (2) from an age perspective (where there is an obvious higher rate of death from CV-19), BUT ALSO FROM (3) AN UNDERLYING HEALTH OF THE INDIVIDUAL PERSPECTIVE (e.g someone with existing lung issues, a heart ...more

Of course Barry If you've been previously exposed to the virus and or you are a Covid recovered patient, presumably you would be less likely to be considered as a vaccine candidate. The issue with the vaccine is getting it out to the right population as quickly as possible, given limited supplies for likely most of 2021 and perhaps beyond. I coud easily see the mandate being - vaccine for ...more
