Ask HN: How do I know my Covid-19 vaccine is working?

15 pointsby charbonneau2over 3 years ago
To find out an individual&#x27;s immunity against hepatitis B, we use standard serologic testing [1]. With COVID-19, the FDA[2] and CDC[3] state that you &quot;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&quot;.<p>Which methods can be used to evaluate a person’s level of immunity or protection from COVID-19? How do I know if my 2nd (or 3rd) dose worked? Are there any ongoing trials (for immunity tests)?<p>[1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cdc.gov&#x2F;hepatitis&#x2F;hbv&#x2F;pdfs&#x2F;serologicchartv8.pdf<p>[2] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fda.gov&#x2F;medical-devices&#x2F;safety-communications&#x2F;antibody-testing-not-currently-recommended-assess-immunity-after-covid-19-vaccination-fda-safety<p>[3] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cdc.gov&#x2F;vaccines&#x2F;covid-19&#x2F;clinical-considerations&#x2F;covid-19-vaccines-us.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fvaccines%2Fcovid-19%2Finfo-by-product%2Fclinical-considerations.html

There is a test for antibodies which medical professional have to go through in some cases. You will only get a binary result though if you have protection or not.

They give you a paper card that then people ask to see to prove you&#x27;ve been vaccinated.<p>Any biological effects the vaccines have are essentially irrelevant, they&#x27;re a tribal sign and &quot;sacrifice ritual&quot;.

Even after the corona vaccine, you can still get and transmit the virus.<p>So there&#x27;s no point in worrying about it.
