Antibody tests and vaccinations in transplants

@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.

Hello, I just wanted to share the FDA’s approval for the third booster for us that have immune system issues. I have bullous pemphigoid and am a senior who stays home religiously with my disabled senior sister with diabetes! On Thursday it was approved and on Friday morning I called my PCP for a shot! You do have to take the same brand (in my case in March/April, I had Moderna 1 and 2). With no antibodies for the vaccine found in a blood test I had in June, I’m really hoping this one will give me some protection…..

I’ll look next time I’m in research mode. I don’t have a link or anything.
