Paphos People

Because now everyone is flying in unchecked and mask wearing has stopped

I have never knowingly had covid...I have had 2 vaccinations and I had my booster on 7th Dec 2021 ...so I wasn,t sure if my antibodies where now waning and if I had no cover.....I was worried about catching covid ...so I went today and had my sars covid 19 lgG serum test ....to check and see if I still had any antibodies in my body to help fight against serious covid virus illness

If I hadn’t got any antibodies I would have gone for my 4 th booster

To my huge surprise ...the results are back

Up to 0.79 reading and you have a negative reading and no antibodies
Over 0.80 you have a positive reading and you have antibodies
Imagine my surprise of having a positive reading of 3799 result of having antibodies to the sars covid 19 virus

This has absolutely made my day ...sigh of relief

So happy that I have been checked

Hi Migmogs,

Would you mind letting me know where you had the anti-body test done and the cost, it sounds interesting.

Gary.

Hi Gary
I had my test done at the blood Centre ...next to Dr Molly,s near to Coralia Beach
It cost me 25 euros
They emailed me my results later that day

Thank you,

I think it's a good idea to check, as you did, before have a vaccination. I will go next week, have my levels checked and if they are suitably high will put back my next jab.

I'm surprised the doctors don't check automatically.

I don,t understand either Gary as to why more antibody tests are not being done
I am finding it all very confusing

On one site... I read that even showing antibodies ...that you still might not be covered for the next strain...so therefore you should have any next covid vaccinations being offered !

So then how is the world supposed to be building up herd immunity? And what about those who have had covid and never had vaccinations?

If I have antibodies ...surely to me that is a good thing!

I understand different strains of flu ..and hence a yearly flu jab....is this what they are saying?

It is all still so very confusing

But I am glad that for now ...I still have antibodies to this awful covid!

I am no scientist but if the Covid Vaccine has not been changed then Anti Bodies from catching the virus must give better protection, it will contain new variants, yes if they find a new strain and update the vaccine then that would be better, either way, I'm unsure about taking drugs when not needed so if I have good anti bodies I will not have a booster yet.

Gary.

Let me know how you get on Gary
And yes until a vaccination is made against the different variants ...then having a good amount of sars covid 2 antibodies as got to be the way forwards

Stay safe all
