COVID-19 antibodies provide greater protection for individuals over 50 years old, study finds
Fox News
Researchers have found that people over the age of 50 produced more antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
The goal was to determine whether natural infection or vaccination resulted in the generation of more protective antibodies. When someone who has had a mild case is vaccinated, the antibody level in their blood doubles compared to someone who was infected and is unvaccinated.
Thirty-two SARS-CoV-2-positive and non-hospitalized Canadian adults were enrolled in the study two to three weeks post-diagnosis in 2020 prior to the emergence of the beta, delta and gamma variants.
