There is not enough data to give us long term results of the efficacy or safety of the vaccine.
I had the Moderna Vaccine and the side effects were no picnic. I had a Covid19 immunity test a few weeks ago. My immunity was still high. A statement under the results say something like having immunity does not mean your immune. So what is the new version of immunity?

My Dr. said do a immunity test every 3 months. If it’s high, no booster needed. I wear an n95 mask in a place it makes sense to. Mostly I go unmasked.

Do what you feel comfortable with.
The problem is that the antibody test only measures one antibody, but there are several involved in immunity to the virus. We not even sure which ones they are yet. So yes, you can have a high "antibody" level according to the test used, but not be "immune". And no doctor should be suggesting that a high antibody level according the the test that is used is a criterion for not getting a booster.

As far as "Do what you feel comfortable with.", if everybody did that, we'd range from people hiding under their beds to those mowing down hundreds at a mall with an AK-47. How about do what they experts advise? (Except for those who have already posted on this thread that they think the experts are "lying")
