Hi everyone! Following the COVID vaccine conversation with TX folks has been interesting. After watching the JH webinars, I am content to wait for my doctors to release info that addresses our needs and my particular needs. That said, when we discuss T and B cells it's difficult. Those are the exact cells that our immuno-suppressant drugs affect. Our Tacro, Sirolimus, CellCept, etc. reduce the response from the T and B cells in order to avoid the opportunity for rejection of our heart, kidney, liver or other organ. So when we talk about relying on these cells to help us with COVID, I don't think it's scientifically reasonable to expect that. Does anyone know more about this? I would be glad to be mistaken! 🙂
Hi Lori!
Thanks so much for this wonderfully detailed and knowledgeable response! You have a great memory. Yes, I am the kidney transplant patient with zero antibodies from two doses of Moderna. Yes, I am thinking about retesting to see if there was any increase now that months have passed. 🙂
