@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?

I had zero impact from the first , second and fourth shot. After the third shot, I felt a little, sort of like a low level cold ( zero fever) and I just stayed home. After the third shot is when antibodies were first detected. I would also recommend you watch the JH video updates and the type of antibody test they use. And the French approval of the third shot. We all know our FDA moves slowly as they did not include immunocompromised people in heir initial studies.
So who knows if they are researching it now, or relying on others. So they place the risk on the patients..
