<p>Virus Watch data, supported by NHS Test and Trace, provides information regarding
patients’ antibodies and this includes immunocompromised patients as part of their
cohort. The data suggests some protection against COVID-19, but is only one measure
and does not look at cellular immunity which may be more important in terms of long-term
immunity.</p><p> </p><p>Each antibody test will vary in its sensitivity and specificity
and there is currently no agreed level of antibody which indicates someone is immune.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation will continue to review evidence
on the use of vaccines in those with immunosuppression and will update its advice
as necessary.</p>
