Subject: Re: Antibody testing set to become a lot more relevant
Indeed, any vaccine is for prevention and always has an effective period. Vaccine is never a cure. To monitor the effectiveness of the vaccine, periodic total antibody test is a must to ensure the antibodies, both naturally occurring or vaccinated, are sufficient to protect the individual.
Antigen test, on the other hand, should be used to detect the pre-symptomatic, asymptomatic or symptomatic but I think it is most importantly to detect and distinguish between the actual case of SARS-Cov-2, Influenza and or the common cold.
