Can anyone find or link me a reliable source of Pfizer's immunity after the first then second dose please?
Ie any trials on how long after each dose your immune?
Basically we are 10 days after our second Pfizer dose and I'm curious to know how protected we are 😊

Won't it depend on how your immune system responds to the vaccine?

If you Google you will find all sorts of studies showing averages, but you don't know where you fall. Studies also show that immune response is affected by time since you had the vaccine and the length of gap between the doses.

You could do an antibody test, but that won't tell you about other factors such as B and T cells.

I just thought there was a general % level of protection after a certain amount of time?

@LifesTooShortYOLO

I just thought there was a general % level of protection after a certain amount of time?
No, just an average and the range (min to max in all people tested for a particular study). Antibody test is the only way to know your personal level of antibodies. But it needs to be the test that shows your response to the vaccine, not the one that shows if you have antibodies from a previous infection. And as @amicissimma said, it doesn’t tell you your T cell response.
