A doctor who received the COVID-19 vaccine took an unusual step to make sure it worked.
The chief medical officer for the company StarMed took an antibody test to confirm the vaccine properly gave him immunity. He said it gave him the confidence to safely be with his family and newborn son.
Dr. Arin Piramzadian is also overseeing an effort to give second doses to healthcare workers at Bojangles Coliseum which began on Monday. StarMed is in a partnership with the Mecklenburg County Health Department.
Dr. Piramzadian said he took an antibody test that showed the Moderna vaccine he received had worked.
“Twelve days later I actually made antibodies which is exactly what you would expect with the vaccination,” said Dr. Piramzadian.
As someone who deals directly with COVID-19 patients, he didn’t want to put his family at risk, including his newborn son.
“For almost four months of his life, I was not around him at all,” said Dr. Piramzadian.
