Can you get your antibody levels tested for vaccine

3. Outside research facilities, the antibody tests are qualitative... is antibody detected-- without

the quantification necessary to provide much meaningful information as to whether the antibody is present at levels likely to be sufficiently neutralizing. Somewhere there may be a commercial test being marketed, but it would be quite expensive and still questionable. Validation of the precise level of antibodies necessary to be sufficiently protective is difficult outside large population-based research studies, may vary from individual to individual and doesn't begin to address the non-alpha and non-delta variants.

So yes, you can get a test that gives you basic information that you have some level of measurable antibodies. And, if you do, it is likely you have activated b- and t-cells ready to ramp up if necessary, should the antigen present in an exposure--at least against delta. Beyond that, though they can't tell you much more than that; however, those tests are useful for the immunocompromised, as even some degree of measurable antibody is meaningful.
