What The Study Did: Based on a sample of blood donations in the United States from July 2020 through May 2021, vaccine- and infection-induced SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence increased over time and varied by age, race and ethnicity, and geographic region. Seroprevalence studies estimate how common it is for people to have SARS-CoV-2–specific antibodies due to natural infection or induced by vaccination.
