Lahey thus far is the same. We should remain vigilant and under the guidance for those not vaccinated.

Here’s an article I read last month about trials in UK, but not necessarily on transplant folks:

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/may/19/covid-booster-trial-will-give-third-vaccine-dose-to-uk-volunteers?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

This was a story you may have heard: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/06/15/1006382264/a-3rd-dose-of-covid-vaccines-may-boost-immunity-for-transplant-recipients

I imagine the John Hopkins researchers will address it on the upcoming webinar.

Hope you’re enjoying your summer! Athena

@athenalee I have read that they are giving transplant patients the third shot already in Europe. So far there does not appear to be a downside to it so I hope it will be approved soon. Of course the downside to not getting it is that we are vulnerable. I wish I was more comfortable in my antibody rating of 13.83 but I'm not sure how much protection that provides.
