• [Pre-print, not peer-reviewed] While all fully vaccinated long-term care residents (n = 70) in a cross-sectional study in the Pittsburg region between March 15 and April 1, 2021 had detectable SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, levels tended to be lower among those who were male, older, used steroid medications, or had a longer length of time since vaccination. Antibody levels tended to be higher among those who previously tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 (15.7%).
