A survey carried out in England found that, as of February 11, 2020, 57.2 percent of women and 55.6 percent of men aged 80 years and over tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies. In England, as well as the rest of the UK, vaccinations for COVID-19 were first rolled out for the older age groups, this explains the higher prevalence of antibodies in the oldest age group compared to the younger age groups.
