Getting another LabCorp antibody test

[diorio]

I have now had the 3rd shot, and had hoped to get a LabCorp test again. However, I no longer have the order I used in April (from the doctor who was doing the US study).

Does anyone have a link to a valid order I can download in order to secure a LabCorp test?

Thanks

Did they send you a survey to update your info? I indicated I had received my booster and they send me a new order form. From what I understand if you had a good response to the first two shots, they don’t need you to do another antibodies test. My response was minimal after the first two shots. I will check to see if I downloaded the order form.

Here is what I used to get the lab order from LLS- Ciitizen: -

Hi

As always, thank you for your participation in the LLS National Patient Registry, a project of the Michael J. Garil Patient Data Collective. With the help of citizen scientists like you, the Registry has already reported critical information about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines across all major blood cancer and treatment types.

Information like this guides our national vaccination strategy and helps healthcare providers and patients make informed decisions about care.

We were amazed by the enthusiasm of this community once again when we wrote last about our plans to study the efficacy of the additional COVID-19 vaccine dose recently recommended for people with blood cancer. Several thousand of you wrote to let us know you were planning to, or had already received, another vaccine dose.

To ensure we have accurate, up-to-date information and that we can provide LabCorp slips for antibody testing to everyone who needs one, we ask that you please complete a brief survey. To assist us in updating your records, you must complete this survey even if you already sent us an email noting your plan to get another vaccine dose.

This online survey should take about 5 to 10 minutes and asks about:

• Your plans for an additional vaccine dose—confirming which vaccine(s) you have received or plan to receive, and when (please have these dates available when completing the survey).

• Whether you had COVID illness at any time after completing your primary vaccine series (two doses of Pfizer or Moderna, one dose of Johnson & Johnson)

• Treatments you have had related to your cancer over the last 4-months (a list is provided for you to select from).

If your survey indicates that you have already had or plan to have another COVID-19 vaccine soon, and you need an updated LabCorp lab slip, we will send you a new one by email with instructions for getting an antibody blood test.

We want to remind you that the best strategy for blood cancer patients, even after receiving another COVID-19 vaccine dose, is to Get Vaccinated, Act Unvaccinated. COVID-19 is particularly dangerous and deadly for people with blood cancer, so we urge you to take every precaution to stay safe.

On behalf of LLS, thank you for becoming a citizen scientist and helping us fulfill our mission to improve the quality of life of blood cancer patients and their families. We are grateful for your support.

Sincerely,

Larry Saltzman, MD

Executive Research Director, LLS

Thank you! This was so helpful. I'm all signed up for lab work next week.

I had my third shot five weeks ago and had my test done last Friday, happy to say I had great results this time after no results after the second shot.

Booster Results

[gardening-girl in reply to KevinCLLITP]

Kevin, I've just noticed your antibody test results which show antibodies to both the Spike protein and the Nucleocapsid protein. Both tests are reported as being Positive. The Pfizer vaccine that you got will only result in antibodies to the Spike protein. Therefore, unless you've actually had COVID, your antibodies probably came from the IVIG that you are getting, at least that would be true for the Nucleocapsid antibodies.

I just had my labcorp blood antibody test after my 3rd Moderna vaccine.

Alas, negative negative. I am taking Alacabrutinib.

[Mogal in reply to country76]

You are not alone. I too tested negative after my third Moderna vaccine! I am on Zanubrutinib.

Go on labcorp wwbsite. You pay $10 and their inrernal connection Pixel I think, gets the order. No need for LLS or doctor involvement. Super easy.

I emailed LLS and they emailed me one fairly quickly.

Thank you all for these helpful replies!
