Key Findings
- In Northern Ireland, in the week beginning 26 September 2022, the percentage of people estimated to have antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 was 95.5% of adults at or above 179 ng/ml (95% credible interval: 93.9% to 96.6%), and 69.1% of adults at or above 800 ng/ml (95% credible interval: 65.1% to 72.6%).
- In Northern Ireland, in the week beginning 26 September 2022, the percentage of the adult population estimated to have antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 at or above the level of 179 nanograms per millilitre (ng/ml) remained high across all age groups.
Estimates of antibody positivity at 2000 ng/ml, 4000 ng/ml and 6000 ng/ml are also presented in the bulletin. These levels have been introduced to enable enhanced monitoring of antibody levels and waning.
