I don’t think anyone knows at the moment as no one has confirmed if any post transplant people were in the initial vaccine trials. John Hopkins has embarked on a major study of antibody buildup in post transplant people who receive a vaccine. So hopefully that will reveal some conclusive results.

Understood. I was aware of the John Hopkins study and saw some of the participants in my support groups who were receiving results regarding feedback on their individual immune response. My thoughts go to individuals who might like to know, in their own case, if the vaccine prompted an immune response. For me, if it didn't, I would continue with my monastic isolation until herd immunity is achieved. I do not know if labs are generally capable of running the sequencing or if it might be cost prohibitive. It was just a thought I had.
