How much covid protection are transplant recipients really getting

This is so depressing!
I am 5 months post transplant at Mayo. Like you, take 750/500 Mycophenolate and 3/3 Tacrolimus.
I had longed to do some international travel, but it sounds like from your take away that it would not be recommended.
I have had 2 Pfizer vaccines, as have most of my family.
My 4 month biopsy was perfect, and I am so thankful to my cousin for donating and for Dr Prieto for my kidney transplant and bilateral nephrectomy.
It just makes me sad that this virus will limit our freedom.

I'm a 70 yr old double transplant patient (Liver and Kidney) 2 year out.
I also watched the zoom meeting and I know I do not have antibodies (Moderna). I also had to delay a trip to see family in Europe. Based on the Zoom meeting, I hope a monoclonal antibody infusions works. We will just have to continue having to be careful. I live in Las Vegas where we have 300.000 tourists many weekends - so it's very difficult to go out anywhere.

I’m so glad you are doing so well. Dr Prieto was also my surgeon!! What a great group of docs and nurses we had! I had to cancel a two week trip to Italy in April when the virus blew up. I’m so looking forward to the day we get replan the trip. I fear it will be longer then we would like. The longer we get from transplant the better our immune systems will be. Best wishes on continuing great recovery
