• Changes in the concentration of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 over time in children were found to be similar to adults. In a prospective multicenter cohort study of antibody responses in 849 children, antibody titers in children exposed to SARS-CoV-2 remain at a detectable level for at least 62 days, with the mean titer increasing over time. The longest follow-up was 81 days.
