I had two Moderna shots with Zero antibodies. I took a third ant it showed antibodies. Two weeks ago I took a 4th shot and this week my Dr. ordered a Covid Tither? test to determine my antibody load. This is the same test JH mentioned in their research. No Medical advice supports taking more than 2 shots (except in France). Since I live in an area where the Delta variant is increasing exponentially, I decided to take the risk..

@benlam11- Good morning and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I had the Moderna vaccine, both shots. But, I haven't even thought about having antibody tests because they aren't fully developed, approved, or reliable as of now. I hope that they will be soon because it will make a lot of people happy and more confident in the vaccines. If there is a booster offered I'll be in line for it as I have lung cancer.

Were your side-effects different with the third and fourth shots than the first and second?
