The latest antibody data from @ONS shows levels continuing to increase, especially in older age groups now being vaccinated.
This data is for 15/1 to 11/2 - note that it takes 2-3 weeks for antibodies to form, so not all those jabbed recently will have tested positive.

Look at the increase in Over 80s in England, up from 40.9% two weeks ago to 56.4%!
75-79 has doubled from 12.4% to 24.9% too.
The differential in the oldest age group is much less clear in other countries though.

There's a really neat graphic that shows the build up over time by age group. Nice!

There's maybe a surprising differential by age group, with men lagging behind. It's across all age groups too, so not just a function of more women in the most elderly lives.
With the differential much higher at younger ages, maybe vaccinated care workers is one cause?

Note this is a community randomly sampled survey (so eg no Care Homes). The sample size in England was 30k for the 4 week period.
