Chase Lodge Hospital has launched an exciting new test, which can detect whether your body has developed antibodies after the Covid-19 vaccination. This only looks for specific antibodies generated by your immune system 14 days post-vaccination, and does not look at whether you have previously had Covid-19.
This will give our patients the valuable information they need in these difficult times.
This is a simple blood test which can be carried out in your own car or isolation room by our clinical team who wear full PPE.
Our doctors will be on hand if you have any questions about the test or its result.
Regardless of the outcome, it is imperative that you continue to follow Government Guidelines.
Please note:
- Antibody tests cannot diagnose acute infection
- Not everyone will develop an antibody response to COVID infection or vaccine
Price of test - £69.00

Abbott's Antibody testing at Chase Lodge
We are proud to offer Abbott antibody testing for coronavirus IGG antibodies. The Abbott test is 99% accurate, and tests for the presence of antibodies. On completion of the test you will be provided with a certified lab report.
Within 24 hours the test will provide a positive or negative result on the presence of coronavirus IGG antibodies, allowing you to know whether or not you have previously had the virus.
It is believed that IGG antibodies develop after 2 weeks of contracting the virus, but there is a higher level of certainty at the 28 day mark.
The Abbotts antibody test, performed in a laboratory setting, has a lower threshold for finding IGG antibodies than instant kits that are available, so this test is perfect if you have only had mild symptoms and therefore probably a low viral load.
Fee: £49 to £114 (Discount for NHS colleagues – please show ID)
Why do I need a consultation?
Testing without a consultation means that we would be unable to properly advise you on next steps, protecting your family, whether you can return to work after lockdown and any treatment you might require.
