Rapid decline in antibodies (or inability to develop an antibody response in the first place) is of real concern. It is unknown what the status of your T cells is and therefore unknown how well they may protect you. I’m not familiar with any “health issues” which is an absolute contraindication to receipt of vaccine. Would check with an Infectious Diseases doc before you make that decision

There are no valid "health reasons" for you to not take the vaccine. You remain at risk of infection. Get the Covid vaccine. Wish you good health!
