A letter to the WA public from Jonathan Carapetis and Fiona Stanley.
Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 was a crucial public health measure during the COVID-19 pandemic.

SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein antibodies can be used to identify the serological response to natural infection in those who have previously received a COVID-19 spike-based vaccine. Anti-N antibody responses can also be induced by inactivated whole SARS-CoV-2 virus vaccines, such as CoronaVac. We aimed to characterise antibody responses to the N protein following COVID-19 and following vaccination with CoronaVac.
