A patient at University of North Carolina. They are a research center. All I have heard is the auto immune folk have not been tested enough or Vaccine does not work on us as well.

@kohlgryl079, We transplant folks are immunosuppressed, too. Our immunosuppression is medicine induced.

I think that you might find the information from Johns Hopkins to be interesting because it tells about non-reactions to the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines. It also tells about what is currently being studied in the real life setting. I especially suggest that you look at the lint to the recent Johns Hopkins Webinar.
