@athenalee To my mind, it makes sense. If the Covid vaccine is less effective then why wouldn't the others be? Of course I really know virtually nothing about the composition of these various vaccines so maybe the Covid ones are unique.

I did a quick search this morning and found the attached article that does indicate that transplant people do get a good immune response to the Shingrix vaccine. The study was done on kidney transplant people on a range of immunosuppressive therapies.
