Abstract
Presence of anti-spike or anti-nucleocapsid immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies was associated with a substantially reduced risk of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection among 223 health care workers in the ensuing 6 months. There were no symptomatic infections in workers with anti-spike antibodies. Rate ratios were similar when the anti-nucleocapsid IgG assay was used alone or with the anti-spike IgG assay.
