Here is the current Mayo guidance on vaccine boosters: "Are COVID-19 vaccine boosters recommended?
Currently, the CDC and the FDA state that people in the U.S. who have been fully vaccinated don’t need a vaccine booster. This is because fully vaccinated people are protected from severe disease and death with the COVID-19 virus, including from COVID-19 variants. Most COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths are among people who are unvaccinated.

However, COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers continue to research and test booster doses."

As the Delta variant spreads, and CDC, FDA & the vaccine manufacturers begin to learn more, it is quite likely a booster will be recommended, at least for the most vulnerable people.

As for an anti-body test, there are a couple tests being used very selectively on people on immunosuppressant drugs, such as transplant patients. The rest of us are being asked to wait for further guidance.

@sueinmn you write….
“This is because fully vaccinated people are protected from severe disease and death with the COVID-19 virus, including from COVID-19 variants.”
I am sorry I did not see that information on the CDC website. My understanding is that even fully vaccinated individuals can get infected from covid and transmit the infection to others. Those are called breakthrough infections. People vaccinated have been hospitalized for a covid infection and some have even died.

This is a statement on the CDC website from today.
“ There is some evidence that vaccination may make illness less severe for those who are vaccinated and still get sick.”

The key word is “may”.

This is the data the CDC provides on their website: I hope it is helpful.
