Probably very inefficient but should we require detailed antibody testing before

Giving anyone the vaccine?

With vaccine dosages at a premium...why risk giving it to someone with some level of immunity.

Please tell me there's a special place in Heaven for Aggie fans! It's like we are living some sort of penance on Earth.

It would be great if we could skip giving it to people who have already been infected, but I don't know if we have the logistics for that

I will voluntary avoid it. I have immunity from infection. I imagine most people who have had it will not seek the vaccine. The issue is the people who do not realize that they've already had it.

Agree.

No need for vaccine if you already had covid.

What is the most accurate antibody test?
How accurate is it?

We probably have more vaccine capacity than antibody test capacity.

I've had covid in May but had no antibodies in June.

There is some possibility that I may have had it again in October, but I didn't get tested.

Depending on the expected length of time that the vaccine would be effective, I would happily get the vaccine.

Not me. The infection was like having allergies.
