I got my second shot of moderna at the end of April. I am on 25 mg of methotrexate to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
Do you think it would be a good idea to get a covid antibody test to see if the vaccine produced a sufficient immune response, and is there a specific number I should look for?
We are anticipating new guidance with respect to boosters for immunocompromised/immunosuppressed individuals this week. It will likely be unnecessary for you to obtain antibody testing.
Antibody test came back (+), >2500. Should I still get the booster? I’m asking my rheum as well.
I can’t make such an individualized recommendation via this forum, and would defer to your rheumatologist.
Here is the current guidance on the matter.
