New test for checking immunity levels to Covid-19

Back in November of last year a couple of First Up staff went to check out a very interesting piece of technology that tells you how protected you are against Covid-19. Sure enough, the device confirmed the vaccines were working as they should and our First Uppers had good levels of immunity to the virus -- a reasurring thing to know at the height of the pandemic. Now, the New Zealand biotech company behind the device, Orbis Diagnostics, has teamed up with Green Cross Health, which is going to start trialling them in its Unichem and Life pharmacies, so that members of the public can test how protected they are against Covid. Nathan Rarere asked Orbis chief executive Damian Camp to explain what the device is and how it works.
