description <p><strong>Introduction:&nbsp;</strong>The high proportion of SARS-CoV-2 infections that have remained undetected presents a challenge to tracking the progress of the pandemic and estimating the extent of population immunity.</p> <p><strong>Methods:&nbsp;</strong>We used residual blood samples from women attending antenatal care services at three hospitals in Kenya between August 2020 and October 2021and a validated IgG ELISA for SARS-Cov-2 spike protein and adjusted the results for assay sensitivity and specificity. We fitted a two-component mixture model as an alternative to the threshold analysis to estimate of the proportion of individuals with past SARS-CoV-2 infection.</p> <p><strong>Results:&nbsp;</strong>We estimated seroprevalence in 2,981 women; 706 in Nairobi, 567 in Busia and 1,708 in Kilifi. By October 2021, 13% of participants were vaccinated (at least one dose) in Nairobi, 2% in Busia. Adjusted seroprevalence rose in all sites; from 50% (95%CI 42&ndash;58) in August 2020, to 85% (95%CI 78&ndash;92) in October 2021 in Nairobi; from 31% (95%CI 25&ndash;37) in May 2021 to 71% (95%CI 64&ndash;77) in October 2021 in Busia; and from 1% (95% CI 0&ndash;3) in September 2020 to 63% (95% CI 56&ndash;69) in October 2021 in Kilifi. Mixture modelling, suggests adjusted cross-sectional prevalence estimates are underestimates; seroprevalence in October 2021 could be 74% in Busia and 72% in Kilifi.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions:&nbsp;</strong>There has been substantial, unobserved transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in Nairobi, Busia and Kilifi Counties. Due to the length of time since the beginning of the pandemic, repeated cross-sectional surveys are now difficult to interpret without the use of models to account for antibody waning.</p>
