On paper, antibody tests sound like a good idea to measure the immune response to vaccination. But it is not absolutely necessary to get one done. Unless you are specifically notified, it may not be necessary to perform antibody tests before or after vaccination.
Even if you are one, it is important to know that the results may not be completely infallible.
Some experts are concerned that the antibody tests currently available to the public may not be able to map the vaccine-generated antibodies. Second, if it is deployed for larger parts, it may not be economically feasible either.
Those who prefer to do antibody tests before planning their appointments advise experts not to rely entirely on the test results. Since the natural immunity with COVID is confusing and can decrease, it is crucial to vaccinate whether you get enough antibodies or not, and in the vast majority of cases it is the necessity of the hour. It may help to delay or plan your appointment later, but it’s even wiser to get the jab.
As long as you receive two doses on time, follow all necessary precautions and apply basic hygiene, you will have adequate protection against the deadly virus.
