Very low pneumococcal anti-bodies. all other tests great. is that serious? given vaccine for it. what happens if my body doesn't make the antibodies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More Workup: Your doctor should repeat blood test 6-8 weeks after repeat vaccination. If you have not responded appropriately, then you need to have your immune system evaluated by an immunology specialist to help you figure out if there is a problem.
