As of February 11, 2021, around 56.4 percent of those aged over 80 years of age in England were estimated to have COVID-19 antibodies, this was followed by Scotland at 20.7 percent and Wales at 18.5 percent. The higher prevalence of antibodies in oldest age groups is almost certainly due to older age groups being in the highest priority to receive vaccinations against COVID-19.
