If you have significant levels of any of the COVID antibodies, we will give you a numerical value that reflects the quantity of each antibody that is detected. Each separate antibody has its own range and, if detected at or above this range, we will also tell you the quantity of that antibody.

The presence of COVID antibodies indicates immunity to the virus, but does not mean that you will not get infected or even have a sev-ere infection in the future. Studies show that individuals who have natural immunity or those who have been immunized and who have natural immunity are least likely to get severely sick or to be hospitalized or die from COVID-19.

Though it is not required, we recommend you check your COVID antibody levels up to every three months if you would like to track your antibody levels over time. This can inform you of your then current antibody levels and may be helpful in making decisions regarding immunization, travel or attendance at school, work and events.

This test requires only a few drops of blood from a simple finger stick. We’ll send you a self-collection kit that you can take on your own or under video observation if you’d like some extra guidance.

Two ways of standard shipping are included in the cost of this test.

Schedule your video call and take your test on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Register your sample while you are on the video call. Use this scheduling link to book your appointment. Appointments are available throughout the day before the cutoff time for shipping at the UPS store. You must take your test and ship it on the same day.

To make sure that your sample can be processed as quickly as possible, we do not offer proctoring for this test on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays.

A COVID antibody test may NOT be right for you if you are trying to diagnose COVID-19. Note, COVID antibody tests are not approved to diagnose for an active COVID-19 infection. A COVID antibody test only shows whether the body has developed an adaptive immune response to the virus as part of a prior infection or vaccine.

You should not get a COVID antibody test if:

• You feel sick or have had a fever within the last 3 full days; please contact a healthcare provider.
• It is less than 10 days since you tested for and were diagnosed with COVID-19.
• You were directly exposed to COVID-19 in the past 14 days.
• It is less than 2 weeks since you had your complete vaccination for COVID-19.
• You live in New York State, Pennsylvania, or Maryland. This serology test is not available for self-collection in NY, PA or MD.
• You are 4-years-old or younger.

A COVID antibody test, sometimes referred to as a COVID serology test, looks for antibodies in your blood that fight the virus that causes COVID-19. In both children and adults, COVID antibody testing can help identify if you were exposed to SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, and if exposed, check whether or not your body has produced a protective immune response.

COVID antibody tests may be helpful if you want to know whether your body has current detectable levels of COVID-19 antibodies because:

• You were never diagnosed with COVID-19 and are looking to determine if you may have been previously infected with the virus.
• You have previously tested positive for COVID-19 and want to know if your body has produced a protective immune response.
• You received a COVID-19 vaccine and want to know if your body has produced an immune response.
• You want to intermittently track if antibody levels remain detectable over time.
