    Urgency was part of the story. Unfortunately, the urgency was entirely on the patient side.

    Anyone know how to check to make sure the vaccine "took?" Is it like having COVID and the antigens would show up in your blood?

    This is a very good question. There is much skepticism regarding the rushed nature of this vaccine.

    That would be normal, and I don''t know of any reason the mechanics of a Covic vax would be any different. They'd draw blood and run titers, check the level of antibodies in your blood.

    OTOH, such tests are expensive. Doing them on everyone would probably double the cost of inoculating the population, perhaps a bit more. Generally that's not a step that's taken unless there is reason to think that the vaccine was not effective - say someone with an impaired immune system. When working health care, you are pretty well required to get the Hepatitis C vaccine, which is a two shot series. They tend to lose some effectiveness over time. It is not uncommon to draw titers after ten years or so and confirm your levels are still in the effective range.

    I was excited about the vaccine to begin, but have become more pessimistic due to some posts at this site.
