67% surveyed Indians have developed antibodies against Covid-19: ICMR

Around 67.6 per cent surveyed Indians have developed antibodies against Covid-19, while nearly 40 crore people are still vulnerable, the Union Health Ministry said on Tuesday while releasing findings of the fourth national serosurvey by Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).

The ICMR's latest national serosurvey has found that the seroprevalence among those aged six to nine was 57.2 per cent which is very similar to adults.

The highest sero-prevalence was found in the age group 45-60 years (77.6 per cent), followed by those above 60 years (76.7 per cent) and those in the age group 18-44 years (66.7 per cent).
