Most of the scientific reports/reviews/articles I've read appear to indicate to antibody levels and duration are dependant on how severe the infection was in the first place...if you've had a severe case of covid, antibodies start to fade after 6 months and after 3 months if it's a mild or asymptomatic infection. Then again, I've read reports of antibodies fading after 4 weeks and cases of "super resistors" were antibodies are still strong after 9 months.

The information I'm waiting for, is what are the minimum antibody levels needed to provide protection and how long it takes to drop below them?

That is the type of information we can only get when they start testing with deliberate infections, and I believe they are about to start doing that although that is to establish minimum amount of the virus to infect someone

Correct - it has just received approval and those selected will have been fully vaccinated and then received £4500 for taking part.


My wife sits on a "Research Ethics Board" and commented that whilst interesting, not sure if she would have liked being in a position to consider and approve the human trials.

I wouldnt do it for any amount of money.

The results from this trial could be worth years of research.........good luck to the youngsters, and thanks....

I did have a thought about this. Perhaps they should change the law so that anyone who receives a third fine for breaching the Covid regulations will automatically be included in the trial and those with fourth or fifth fines will receive higher doses of the virus.

The wife has had her first dose her symptoms are exactly the same as yours Christel.

Wife started to feel normal again?

The Wife is fine it started early evening on the day she had the jab she had a bad night and was zonked the following day she slept most of it wrapped in a blanket. The day after that she was back to her normal self.

Thanks for asking.

AZ vaccine knocked me sideways for two days. It was like having proper 'flu without the elevated temperature. Morning of Day 3, I was 90% back to my normality. By day 4, I was 100%. I will plan my diary so I have nothing booked in for two days after my second jab.

I guess with the Queen has spoken, the anti-vaccine patriots must be close to exploding with internal confliction by now......believe and follow the conspiracy theorists or kiss the ring and get vaccinated.

I wonder if she had the one that president macaroon said doesn't work................I did.

I had my AZ shot in mid January and the only side effect was similar to the flu shot ie slightly sore arm at the injection for a day.

I had by vaccination at my GP's and the only thing I was given apart from an info leaflet was the surgery's standard appointment card with the date for the second shot. As to vaccine passports it should be noted that many countries require travellers to have proof of vaccination against a range of diseases eg yellow fever so not sure why people are getting excited about requiring vaccine certificates.


I will pass this on, a couple of senior ladies met up and one was asked which vaccine she had received, her 6 yo granddaughter piped up, granny had the Adsa Vinegar one
