Here are preliminary results from the COVID-19 Antibody Testing of Recipients of Solid Organ Transplants (IRB00248540) being led by the transplant team at Johns Hopkins.

@bosco17 Honestly, I do not remember where I got that number, I read many articles and it varies a lot. It's all a moot point now though because so far the Johns Hopkins studies show the antibody count to even be worse than anticipated as @athenalee shows in her post. That is after just one shot though and I have heard that some people, not in this study, have had some response after the second shot, but it's still not a very strong response.

The link from JH also says that of the small percentage of people on immunosuppressants who did show some antibodies, more had the Moderna vaccine than the Pfizer vaccine. I had Pfizer.

I guess we really are very dependent on waiting for "herd immunity", or taking our chances.
