What about spike antibody levels in healthcare workers after COVID-19 vaccine?

Aim: The COVID 19 outbreak continues today with significant morbidity and mortality. Healthcare workers have the highest risk in this epidemic. Therefore, vaccination was first started from healthcare workers. In this study, we aimed to examine the antibody levels of healthcare workers after vaccination. Material and Methods: This is a retrospective study. A total of 102 healthcare workers who were given CoronaVac vaccine and whose antibody levels were checked after vaccination were included in the study. Results: The seventy seven (75.5%) of the cases were male, 25 (24.5%) were female, the mean age was 43.25 ± 9.97. 8 (7.8%) of the cases had previously had COVID-19. The mean antibody level was 1768.02 ± 3586.09. Antibody mean in women was 2127.9 ± 4716.1; it was 1651.2 ± 3163.8 in men. No statistical difference was found between age and gender and antibody level (Respectively; p=0.564, p=0.596). Conclusion: Post-vaccination antibody development was good among healthcare workers. All of the healthcare workers who had COVID-19 had an antibody response. There were only 3 individuals who did not develop antibody response.
