Coronavirus vaccine: Do you need an antibody test after being vaccinated?

On paper, antibody tests seem like a good idea to measure the immune response to vaccination. But it is not absolutely necessary to make one. Unless you are specifically advised, pre / post-vaccination antibody testing may not really be necessary.

However, even if you do get one, it is important to know that the results may not be entirely foolproof.

Some experts fear that publicly available antibody tests may not be able to specifically map the antibodies generated by the vaccine. Second, if it is deployed for larger sections, it may not be economically viable either.

For those who choose to do antibody tests before scheduling their appointments, experts advise not to rely entirely on the test results. As natural immunity with COVID is confusing and can decrease, getting vaccinated, whether or not you get enough antibodies, is crucial and, considering the growing cases, the need for the hour. This may help you to delay or schedule your appointment a little later, but it is still wiser to get the vaccine.

As long as you take your two doses on time, follow all necessary precautions and practice basic hygiene, you will have sufficient protection against the deadly virus.
