More importantly, the researchers do not know how to interpret the results.<\/p>\n<p>This is because the cut-off levels needed for protection are not known.<\/p>\n<p>Also, antibody tests for infection will not work to check responses to vaccines. This is because antibodies after infection are different to antibodies after a vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>Until individual testing becomes available, it is good to be careful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi<\/p>\n<p>I have had two doses of the Oxford\/Astra Zeneca vaccines.
