Many people in the UK have reported lingering fatigue, low energy, or brain fog—sometimes weeks or months after a mild COVID-19 infection. This experience, often referred to as long COVID, can make day-to-day life challenging. But how do you know if your immune system has responded to the virus or the vaccine?
After exposure to COVID-19, either through infection or vaccination, your body produces protective proteins called antibodies. The spike antibody is a particular type that targets the virus’s spike protein—crucial for immunity. Low antibody levels may be linked to recurring symptoms or worry about reinfection.
Yes! The COVID-19 Spike Antibody Home Blood Test Kit from Mayfield Clinic allows you to find out your antibody status with a simple finger-prick test. You can collect a small blood sample yourself and send it off in the post, receiving results within as little as one day.
Take control of your health: Order your COVID-19 Spike Antibody Home Blood Test Kit today, or book an in-person test at Mayfield Clinic for extra reassurance.
For further reading on COVID-19 and antibody testing, see the NHS information on antibody tests or speak to our experts at Mayfield Clinic.
No, the COVID-19 Spike Antibody Home Blood Test Kit is suitable for people who are not currently experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. It checks whether you have developed antibodies after vaccination or infection, not current infection.
This blood test detects antibodies to the spike protein of the coronavirus, which are produced by your immune system after vaccination or infection. It does not detect the virus itself, so it's not used to diagnose active COVID-19.
Most people experience mild discomfort with a finger-prick sample. It's quick and easy to use at home, with clear instructions provided in the kit.
