I'm not a medical person smile But there is a video on YouTube by Tim Spector explaining why its not a problem if the test shows you don't have antibodies. I'll try to find it later on, and post it. In the meantime somebody may come along to explain what it is that he's saying. flowers

My OH was invited after having both his jabs and he is full to the brim with antibodies.

Gosh! Not surprised you are upset. Have no medical knowledge to offer you but I feel sure there will be people on GN who will advise you. I wish you the best in this situation. It makes me wonder - like most people I have had my second vaccination and wonder what my results would be if I had the finger tip blood test. Certainly food for thought. I am interested to know how this situation progresses. Best wishes and good luck ?

Has anyone in here done this. I did one as part of a research programme 1 week after I had the 2nd AZ vaccine. It was a fingerprick blood test that gives results in 15 minutes. Apparently I have No antibodies! Having been pretty isolated for over a year now and followed all the rules I am pretty upset. Apparently these tests give 80% accuracy. Should I worry? Would appreciate some replies from medical people on here that know more than I do!
