Covid antibody value 6 is it good enough
I was infected with Covid around 3 months back and recovered. I just got antibody test done (IGG CLIA) and the value is 6. According to ref range it is positive if the value is above 1.4. My question is, is this antibody enough to prevent infection from Covid again at least in short term? Or the value is too low and I should take vaccine? I have not taken vaccine till now. My wife was also infected during the same time, but her antibody test value is 36. Does that mean she has more antibodies? Why this difference? Does it mean she has better immunity? Or she had stronger infection? She also did not take vaccine. I am not able to understand how to interpret this test result. Please advise. Thanks in advance
