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

@merpreb- Merry, I don't have the link in front of me, but I believe it has been mentioned by the CDC, Transplant articles, and even by Dr Poland that elderly will have lowered response, as will immunosuppressed patients. 30%-40%-45% vs 90%-94% for general population are numbers that i seem to recall.
More important than numbers is that my transplant team says to get the vaccine even if the protection is lower that general population.
Hope this is helpful.
