Don’t Do This Before Getting Your Booster, Virus Experts Warn- DOCTORS SAY IT ISN’T NECESSARY BEFORE YOUR SUPPLEMENTAL DOSE.　For months, some have fretted over knowing how protected they are from infection by checking their COVID antibody levels after illness or receiving their initial vaccine doses. But when patients ask if they should take such a test to check if a booster shot is needed, doctors suggest they forgo the procedure. “The overwhelming answer is no,” Mo Rezaie, MD, a physician at Fort Worth Primary Care in Texas, tells local CBS affiliate KTVT. While vaccines work by generating an immune response in the body that produces protective antibodies, officials have warned for months that lab results can’t be used to determine how well you’re covered. “You should not interpret the results of your SARS-CoV-2 antibody test as an indication of a specific level of immunity or protection from SARS-CoV-2 infection,” the FDA wrote in a notice posted on May 19, 2021.　(from Best Life)
