Table 1 Table provides summary statistics for antibody study participants. Panel A. Full study period from May 2021-June 2022. For 117 people who received both Abbott and Roche spike protein tests in February-March 2022, 2 were positive for Roche but not Abbott; 0 were positive for Abbott but not Roche. For 112 vaccinated people who received both Abbott and Roche nucleocapsid tests in Feb-March 2022, 16 were positive for Roche but not Abbott; 0 were positive for Abbott but not Roche. The one unvaccinated but infected person (based on the survey) with a negative antibody test received the Abbott capsid test. Panel B. Period from April-June 2022. All participants received Roche tests. Both panels. Totals for male and female columns do not sum to total for all persons due to missing values.
