uin	188109
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2021 answer text <p>For the vast majority of people, COVID-19 induces a robust antibody response to natural infection within three weeks, which persists through to around three to six months. People with recent COVID-19 infection experience greater antibody levels following one dose of vaccine than those without recent infection. Work is ongoing to determine whether antibodies generated against currently prevalent COVID-19 variants will also protect against new variants. The correlate of protection for COVID-19 is not known yet, but evidence to date suggests that the levels of antibody strongly correlate with protection against future infections.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 29/04/2021 12:02:16 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
