Blood Test for Vaccination Response

Service Description

As more people have the vaccination there is more interest in being reassured as to your own individual response. We are pleased to offer our patients a blood test which can detect whether your body has made a response to the COVID 19 (SARS -CoV-2) vaccination. This blood test using the ROCHE system, measures the level of antibodies in your blood and will give a POSITIVE or NEGATIVE result. If there is a positive result and you have not previously had the virus, then it indicates that the vaccination has been taken up by your body appropriately. We recommend this test after 14 days or more after your 2nd vaccination as the accuracy is then 99.5%. The test price of £120 includes an optional phone discussion with a GP on the results from the test. As this area of clinical testing develops, more clinical detail will be made available.
