New Study Reveals DANGER for immunocompromised.

Stats are showing that the fully vaccinated are likely to only have mild symptoms, if any, if they get breakthrough covid. What about people who are immunosuppressed? I have received 3 doses of Moderna. I was negative for antibodies after the first 2. Haven’t been tested yet after the 3rd. Can the vaccine itself prevent serious complications, or do you need to have developed the antibodies.

@tjdog, you ask a good question. "What about people who are immunosuppressed? Can the vaccine itself prevent serious complications, or do you need to have developed the antibodies?"
You'll notice that I moved your question to this existing discussion in the Transplants group where fellow members @athenalee @lizzy102 @gingerw @loribmt @rosemarya @mollyv @auntieoakley and others are also talking about this.
I think this article may be of interest to everyone in this discussion:
Mayo Clinic expert discusses breakthrough COVID-19 cases https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-expert-discusses-breakthrough-covid-19-cases/
August 13, 2021 from Mayo Clinic
"COVID-19 vaccines remain the best defense against COVID-19. However, no vaccines are 100% effective at preventing illness in vaccinated people, and a small percentage of breakthrough cases are expected, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Breakthrough COVID-19 cases are receiving a lot of attention, but they are not what's driving the current surge."
TJ, I hope you develop some antibodies with the 3rd dose. Until then, we have to hope fellow citizens will continue to get vaccinated. As always, keep up with practising all the recommended precautions of masking, distancing and hand washing.
