?? Why?
Your immune system is already working harder that normal immune systems. There is no reason for a top up.
She was invited by Imperial college London a few weeks back to have an antibody test as part of a study on immuno suppressed /compromised people who had had 2 covid jabs ....her results came back saying she hadn't developed any antibodies and they suggested she had a booster jab in the autumn .... Although what good it will do I don't know unless she starts making antibodies to protect her.
So I assumed as my medication affects my immune system it would be prudent to either (a) have an antibody test and if negative (b) ask for a booster
Indeed for Eileen that seems very sensible
And I am very interested in how your (a) is going to be. As far as I know your immune system is not affected by your medication, as your lympho’s are always very on level.
