Antibody Tests available to Zoe App Users

[GiantGoose]

Just a heads up in case anyone is interested, I just registered to receive a free home Covid antibody testing kit due to being a Zoe Covid app user.

If you still have anti bodies is it worth have the second jab?

Yes, the second jab should give you longer term protection.

I registered yesterday and had a text through this morning with a code in.

I did my antibody test a few weeks ago, I tested positive for COVID feb 14th this year and my first jab was in March.... no antibodies 🤷‍♀️

Thanks. I am on Zoe and have just registered, so hope I get a text inviting me.

Sorry op if this should be clear: do you need to have had COVID first? I use Zoe to contribute to research but as far as I know I’ve never had COVID nor has anyone in my household.

It makes me feel faint just thinking about doing that 😂 I couldn’t do it!

Just registered, I use the Zoe app, interested to see what happens!

I received an invite from the Zoe app on Tuesday. Received the antibody test today.

It did state that they were asking me to do the test as I had previously logged a positive test.

However I ordered a test for my DH too, he uses the app and had no symptoms when I was positive. His test kit arrived today too.

The form asks if you have tested positive and vaccine details.

We have both had one vaccine.

@mommybunny I’ve never tested positive and they sent me a test.
I didn’t get invited by Zoe though, I just used the link on my original post and ticked Zoe app user in the eligibility bit

Just registered for DH and myself.

Oh I did a test before and it was literally one or two drops of blood on a lateral flow test.
This sounds a bit hardcore!

Thanks so much both been using the Zoe app since it launched, I had C-19 back last April before there was any real testing, and did some plasma donation last summer. DH isn't sure if he had it too so will be interested to see.

I registered after reading this yesterday and to my text to book today!

How did you get the invite? I've been using the app for over a year but don't think I've got an invitation. Was it a text/notification/email?

@SmallestInTheClass
I don’t get an invitation, I just used the gov UK link (see original post) and ticked Zoe app user when it got to that part

didn’t get

Invite was an email.

I did the same as @GiantGoose, it's one of the options

Recieved mine today but scared to do it! My dh did one and it was just like a lateral flow one droplet needed this is a whole tube haha. I've also never had covid but was still invited

I did this last week, I tested positive last October and I have no antibodies from infection
I've had both my jabs though

I've received the kit but seeing the size of the tube I cannot get this much blood out myself, no way. I think that's ridiculous. Will have to bin it I suppose.

Ordered the kit this morning but after watching the video I'm not sure I can get that amount of blood out of my finger without fainting. I wish there was an easier way.

I agree @HairyFloppins totally different to the antibody kit I received before which required one drop of blood!

I applied earlier this week and got a text saying could order today. Also a bit worried about the amount of blood needed!

Presumably this wouldn't show antibodies if you had (suspected) Covid in March 2020, as they would have all gone by now?
