Antibody tests and vaccinations in transplants

@benlam11 - Good morning. J&J is undergoing some problems with the side effects of their vaccine so I wouldn't look to them for advice, unless you had the J&J vaccine. The J&J vaccine is quite different than the other mRNA vaccines: The ultimate difference is the way the instructions are delivered. The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines use mRNA technology, and the Johnson & Johnson vaccine uses the more traditional virus-based technology. mRNA is essentially a little piece of code that the vaccine delivers to your cells.
Humans have always been guinea pigs for vaccines for humans, but that doesn't assure constant results. We, humans, are just too complicated!
Have you read this?

You say that the medical field places the risk with the patient. In a sense that is true, however, from the quick pace of the virus and its variants killing people something had to be done. Should the FDA do something different?
What might that have done?

From the beginning I thought mRNA is breakthrough technology and the way to go.. It had been in the pipeline for a long time as a potential for some cancers ( It is being tested for some cancers in Munich Germany right now). I was not looking for the J&J old technology, as I thought it was the same technology as the flu vaccine. Right now however I know of a family (friends) living in one home, with all but the two youngest vaccinated with mRNA. Five of them are sick with one hospitalized with Covid. The person hospitalized is a diabetic in his 40's. So keep you guard up as this seemed extreme to me with a supposedly only 5% breakthrough rate.
