Letter: Would other vaccines gain from a half-dose approach? (2)

Published 9 December 2020

From Simon Guppy, Combeinteignhead, Devon, UK

The good news regarding the successful results of covid-19 vaccine trials is most welcome.

However, as someone who is at high risk for this disease, I wonder if there will be any way of testing, post-vaccination, to find out if I am protected. I wouldn’t feel confident to return to “normal” life unless I’m sure I am protected.
