A skin test determines if a booster dose of the Covid-19 vaccine is needed

Do we need a booster dose of the Covid-19 vaccine? A skin test developed in the Canary Islands is capable of measuring the immunity of each person. A prick to the skin produces a reaction. If the red spot is bigger it means there is more cellular immunity.

The test consists of pricking the person with part of the Sars-CoV-2 protein and wait for skin reaction. If the person has passed the coronavirus or has a dose of the vaccine, the skin will swell. In a matter of a day or so, the result will be available and it will be known, therefore, if that person needs a booster dose, which is nowIt is recommended that it be at five months after infection.
