antibody test that discriminate between jab and previous infection?

[ThatsnotMyNameAgain]

is there any antibody test which can tell whether you have been exposed to the virus prior to vaccination?

or is it the case that once jabbed it s not possible to say / test?

yup the ONS are running a study currently which is testing for antibodies only induced by infection

if you're part of the Zoe study you can sign up (I think their prioritising certain groups of workers though)

thanks @speckledostrichegg - i ve registered!

ah good stuff, hope you test positive

ignore my terrible grammar in pp, it's been a longgg week

I've done two antibody tests recently. One for a research study which tested for antibodies from either previous infection or from vaccine. The other via Zoe which just tests for antibodies from prior infection.

I tested positive on the research study test and negative on the Zoe one. Which I guess means I have antibodies as a result of being vaccinated, rather than from having had Covid.
