“While most people can end isolation 10 days after exposure to the virus, I was the exception to the rule,” the man said. Blood tests five months after infection showed no antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in the patient, indicating that his immune system was not fighting at all.

Within 14 days after the first dose, PCR testing showed a decrease in the amount of viral material. Approximately six weeks after the second dose, the man tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 for the first time.
