Having a Covid Antibody Test to determine your level of immunity

Was idly wondering if there is any point in paying what seems like £50 in having a covid antibody test.

Why ? Well my partner and I would have a handle on our 'resistance' and compare that to the average. Secondly it would feed into the relevance of a third booster shot. Currently, in the SE there are a lot of walk in 'no questions asked' Pfizer jabs available (I assume that this is to encourage illegals, undocumented and the young to have it and also to get out stocks into arms before they expire and help build the vaccine wall of immunity ) and we are considering having one to top up our double AZ course finished 2 months ago.

Would welcome any thoughts feedback that anyone may have. Here's a private test I picked at random from Google.

"Crucially it also provides an indication of the level of antibodies detected in a sample at the time of testing.That matters, because a basic positive result could hide anything from a very weak to a strong result, you wouldn’t know. Results from a BioCard are reported in a clear, simple way… so you’ll know what level you are over time, in a way you will understand. Monitoring your level if positive, will provide an indication of how long your immunity may be maintained, and how protected you remain."

I think you are doing the right thing. The other issue with a sneaky booster is the issue of vaccine passports - like I said above it's another way you could end up with 4 if you had to prove you had 3 (plus it really isn't "no questions asked").

From what others have said you would have to do a barefaced lie at the undocumented sites. Though I suspect you wouldn't if pushed have to provide an address as the point is to encourage undocumented migrants to take it up and some will quite rightly be concerned about giving their details.

Notwithstanding the deception at this point this vaccine 'greed' might lead you to thinking well I might as well have my booster as well when the time comes which is entering the world of dangerous medical behavour.
