Coronavirus in Luxembourg78% of the population either vaccinated or recovered

In May, 34% of people displayed antibodies against Covid-19, a rate which increased to 87% by September. However, according to Dr Tom Dentzer, virologist from the Health Directorate, one should probably assume that the rate is closer to 78% given that mostly vaccinated people have been tested for antibodies.

After the first infection wave in May 2020, the Convince study only found 2.6% of the population to have antibodies. By now, close to 75% of the adult population in Luxembourg has been vaccinated, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.

Blue marks daily new infections, while green shows the vaccinated part of the country’s adult population. Red marks people above the age of six who have antibodies.
