Getting an anti-body test tomorrow. I heard that vaccines are only 30-40 % for transplanted people.

@jerrynord- Good morning. Can you let us know where you heard this claim of only a 30-40 percent effectiveness for transplanted people?

@jerrynord, I also read that our protection will be less than for the general population. AS more data is gathered over time, we should get a better idea of how much protection the vaccine offers. This also means that we, transplant recipients, will HAVE to remember to adhere to safe practices - Mask. Hands, Distance - as we have practiced since our transplants.
My girlfriend is going to get an antibody test tomorrow., too. She is curious about the level because she had COVID in April. And she won't be eligible to get her vaccine until the 1C group is vaccinated. Do you have a particular interest in learning your anti-body level?
