Antibody Response to 2-Dose SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccine Series in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients. John Hopkins Study

Their conclusion "Although this study demonstrates an improvement in antispike antibody responses in transplant recipients after dose 2 compared with dose 1, these data suggest that a substantial proportion of transplant recipients likely remain at risk for COVID-19 after 2 doses of mRNA vaccine. Future studies should address interventions to improve vaccine responses in this population, including additional booster doses or immunosuppression modulation."

Will be interesting to see results as time passes. Guess our hope is in “herd immunity”…

Thanks for posting the "real" link. We still have work to do regarding the vaccines and must continue to protect ourselves. But this time others will not be protecting themselves at our same level. Others may think it's okay not to mask up and social distance, so it's a bit of a balancing act for us! So happy to have this website to share this info!
