Abstract

The study observed the concentration of antibodies against SARS - CoV - 2 virus on 80 subjects, including 9 subjects who had not been vaccinated, 20 subjects received 1 dose of vaccine and 51 subjects received 2 doses with two objectives 1) Characterization of subjects using quantitative antibody testing after vaccination against Covid-19 2) Description of test results to quantify antibody levels against SARS - CoV - 2 after being vaccinated against Covid-19. Conclusion: Common adverse effects reported after vaccination with 1 dose and 2 doses were fever, chills, headache, body aches and pain and swelling at the injection site. The percentage of subjects with pain and swelling at the injection site accounted for the highest rate in both groups, this rate accounted for 60% in the group after 1st injection  and 74,5% in the group after 2nd dose of vaccin. We recorded the rate of occurrence of human fatigue ranked second in both groups, common fever after the 2nd injection accounted for 26% and some unwanted side effects were less chill, headache. The results of IgG quantification of the study sample showed that 100% of the vaccinated groups had an immune response to SAR-COVID-2 right from the 1st dose and higher than the unvaccinated group at least 12 times (the vaccinated group of 1 dose) up to 71 times (group after 2 injections 2 weeks). Injecting 2 full doses of vaccine helped the body of research subjects achieve significantly higher antibody levels than when injecting 1 dose. The concentration of antibodies against the SARS-Covid-2 virus at the 3rd week after the 2nd injection was lower than the 2nd week after the 2nd injection. From the above analysis results, we indicated that vaccination against Covid-19 helps to produce antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 virus. However, the amount of this antibody varied between subjects and changed over time after vaccination. weeks, this concentration decreased by 2/3 after 2 weeks after administration the second dose.
