@nkdonahue, @contentandwell, @corn50,
Here is an article published on Jan 19, 2021 where Johns Hopkins medical researchers have shared some preliminary findings about antibodies and in solid organ transplant recipients. Please be aware that this is preliminary information.
I unfortunately did not get registered for the research study before my 1st vaccination. I want to say thank-you to those of you who did get registered and are participating in the ongoing research. I add you to my list of silent anonymous heroes!

@rosemarya interesting, particularly the part about “transplant recipients who received convalescent plasma or intravenous immunoglobulin (to reduce the risk of a serious inflammatory response) had lower natural antibody levels against the virus and, therefore, were less likely to have immunity.”, but there is not yet any info about immunity developed from the vaccines.
For me, that’s the most important thing of course, since I haven’t had Covid and hope not to. Rosemary, did you have an asymptomatic case when your husband was diagnosed with Covid?
