Antibody tests and vaccinations in transplants

I would most definitely switch brands. I read a LOT about the vaccines, everywhere. Moderna is touted, today, to have more effectiveness against Delta than Pfizer-BioNTec. By switching, you get a slightly different mRNA vaccine molecularly. I walked in to my local Safeway, said I was immunocompromised, showed the tech my phone with the approval article and got vaccinated.

That’s awesome but true approval doesn’t happen until later today. “Friday”

@lizzy102, Thank you for your update! I think you are our 1st Booster poster.
I missed the live broadcast earlier today, and I was hoping to get a clarification about whether to switch the vaccine or to stay with the same one that I had for the first 2 doses. I also hear and read about a lot of opinions. For myself, I am uncomfortable to make such a decision based on what I hear, yet I respect your decision.
Do you have any links to information that the transplant experts have sited, to date, about this question that you would share? In the mean time I wait and watch. I'll do nothing until after my routine labs on Monday.
Thank you.
