11. Has she talked to her primary care doc?

Did she hesitate to do all the childhood vaccinations for her children when age appropriate? IOW, does she tend to be anti-vax for other diseases?

Is she willing to have the antibody test to see if her "suspected" COVID experience in January 2020 has left her with any antibodies?

Does she understand that the Delta variant which is now prevalent across the country is more contagious and likely to make people more sick than what she "might" have had in January 2020?

She should be encouraged to talk to her primary care doc.
