Island with 99% Covid antibody rate found – study — Analysis

The data from the Indonesian island of Java can be explained by a wider booster shot rollout, the survey’s author says
A March study of 2,100 residents in Java, Indonesia’s most populous island, has revealed that 99.2% of people had antibodies for Covid-19. The island is home to 150 million people and the country’s top tourist spot, Bali.
People who have had the vaccine or are recovering from it form antibodies. Around 60% of Indonesia’s 270 million people have received the vaccine, according to Reuters.
Pandu Riono of the University of Indonesia told Reuters Monday that higher antibody levels are due to a greater booster shot rollout.
Budi Gunadi Sadikin (Health Minister) said that the survey shows the high level of antibody in Indonesia.

“It shows not only that many people already have antibodies, but high antibody levels. So, if we are attacked by a virus later, our immune system can quickly deal with it and reduce the risk of hospitalization, let alone the risk of death,”Sadikin made these remarks at a Monday press conference.
