I also told my transplant team, however they had no opinion. My guess it that they are bound by CDC and FDA rules. It was just my opinion since JH is doing testing and the French health service approved it. I (on my own decision) just went for it. And since I had ZERO antibodies after my first 2 shots, I think the third shot is like the first shot for anyone else. I'm very tempted to take the 4th shot and then have an antibody test to discover just what my antibody level is. I know I'm flying solo, however I will do what I think is safest for me. The Delta+ variant in Las Vegas is worse than the first time around, with only 50% of the population having 1 shot.

I have had four shots already. two phizer and two Moderna. Still zero antibodies. I’m being advised to take a break from getting vaccinated until further examination of possible other combinations that may help us get the benefit from the shots. It seemed a little bit akin to beating my head against a brick wall. But, in this case, it might be justified to keep going. I’m going to give it a rest until something else material breaks. For context, I am a hand transplant, which apparently entails a slightly higher level of immunosuppression than other kinds of transplants, so maybe my findings don’t suggest other types transplant patients.
