I have tested positive twice for covid. I have had no symptoms. I cannot take flu shots, have been told by medical persons to get a blood test. My primary refused to do that. The vaccine is less effective on us… anyone please… HELP!

@kohlgryl079, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
I am a transplant recipient. My husband got COVID in November, but I did not get it. These are indeed complicated times for all of us. I have had both doses of the vaccine, and according to research, I may not be protected either. In my recent post transplant appointment, I learned that the antibody test is not being given routinely as it was in the beginning of the pandemic. As a transplant patient, I was told that it is a measurement of a specific time, and 'Real World' observation/research is ongoing to learn what that can mean for transplant patients.
Transplant patients are instructed to follow the CDC guidelines for unvaccinated population and that means continuing to wear masks.

Are you a transplant patient?
What kind of blood test is this medical person telling you to get?
