UK scheme could also illuminate reinfection rates and immunity across different variants, say experts

Antibody tests are to be offered widely to the UK public as part of a new programme which a leading scientist said could lead to targeted booster vaccinations for vulnerable people.

Thousands of adults will receive tests each day as part of a government scheme exploring how much natural protection people have after getting coronavirus. Anybody over the age of 18 will be able to opt in from Tuesday when taking a PCR test, with up to 8,000 recipients having two antibody tests sent home if they test positive.

Not sure this is the direction we ought to be taking tbh.
Imo the current vaccines are not effective enough and we should be concentrating on developing better versions.
If we've got to keep taking boosters it's a bit like flogging a dead horse.

If the glue doesn't keep things stuck you dont just put more of the same glue on it you find an alternative/better glue.
