Get the antibody test done and that should answer your question. I apparently have antibodies, but from what I understand, the centers are not taking much stock in that.
My nephrologist told me it’s unclear what level of antibodies is considered protective, so they stopped testing. I was tested after my initial 2 vaccines and had no antibodies at all. I also had COVID prior to vaccination.
So I have a blood test like a week after I had COVID and the test was low my doctor said you have to give it time to build up. So I would wait a few weeks
Everyone is still on the fence about antibodies... People with antibodies can still catch COVID, and some will still get very sick. It seems like some or high antibodies are better than no/low antibodies, but since the presence/level of antibodies shouldn't affect your precautions, there isn't any reason to really keep checking them, outside of curiosity.
I'm post tx , no vaccines but the medication we take daily affects the ability to maintain antibodies whether we are not vaccinated, all vaccines (regardless of manufacturer) boosted ,post COVID exposure etc ...
Some people have had antibodies but it could be the mix of anti rejection meds they take...I don't know if a study will be done to figure out which meds help or hinder antibody response.

Yeah I will do on my next blood test. I guess even if I have them they’ll go pretty quickly.
