COVID-19 pandemic is spreading around the world, and the current COVID-19 situation in Hong Kong is still very severe. There are still many cases of unknown origin, showing that the invisible transmission chain still exists. Countries are stepping up to vaccinate the people. A safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine can provide a certain degree of protection from infection, or minimizing the damage caused by the virus to health, is one of the most important measures to protect oneself and others and to ensure the sustainable operation of the Hong Kong medical system.
Whether one's body can produce effective neutralizing antibodies after being vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine?
COVID-19 vaccination produces antibodies which acts as protection and increase the immunity against the COVID-19 virus (SARS-CoV-2). However, the antibody level may differ from person to person.
PANGENIA launches Total Antibody Against SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Test, which accurately detects the level of antibodies in the blood through the principle of antibody antigen-specific binding.
| This test could be applied to current available vaccine candidates, including SinoVac and BioNTech. | |
| It is specially designed for people who are vaccinated against COVID-19 or previously infected to confirm whether they can produce effective antibodies after vaccination. If the test result is positive, it indicates the neutralizing antibody production is effective. |
Benefits of Regular Examination
| Fully track the level of antibodies within the body | |
| Effectively evaluate the immunity of the body |
Suggested Test Object
| Public after vaccination (It is recommended that the customer can require the test, 14-28 days after the 2nd dose vaccination) | |
| Patients previously infected | |
| Potential travellers and general public |
