I know there has been some concern and confusion over whether an immune response is achieved or not from the Covid vaccines. This study looks at outcomes as opposed to measuring actual antibody response and to me the results look very positive. Clearly there will always be more data coming in, but these findings certainly support the argument that you should have both doses of your vaccine when offered.
