Underserved, low-income, rural and certain migrant populations have greater risks and higher incidences of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) than more privileged populations. Current in-person testing methods have limitations, namely exposure risk, a requirement of accessible transportation to healthcare facilities, and economic barriers. Dried blood spots (DBS) samples are widely used for diagnostics in many infectious diseases including Rabies, HIV, Ebola viruses and newborn screening. Our goal was to determine the accuracy and reliability of measuring COVID-19 IgG in DBS compared to paired plasma samples in a population with known infection status and then apply this method to screen an underserved minority population with high risk for COVID-9 infection (unvaccinated, pregnant, low income, Hispanic women). To optimize the assay, we tested 22 nonpregnant women, 12 with positive prior PCR testing for SARS-CoV2 infection and 10 with negative PCR results. After the assay was optimized, we tested the assay in a vulnerable population with a high risk for infection, who were 52 Hispanic pregnant women without prior PCR testing or vaccination. DBS assay results in both groups showed an agreement of 100% with paired plasma samples. The availability of a DBS assay could enable people who may not have access or transportation to healthcare facilities to use DBS as a COVID-19 testing vehicle.
