Transplant: No or Few Antibodies after COVID Vaccination

I got my results from John Hopkins blood 🩸 work today. I had my 3rd shot a week ago. My first two shots I got zero antibodies. Then retested at 3 months I had 48 and then one month later I had 40. The goal was to get to 2,500. I was not expecting today’s results. I got greater then 2,500. That’s doesn’t mean I’m protected. Still going to continue doing what I’m doing while they continue to study this. But it’s nice to get some good news. I’m hoping correct strength of meds a key to way of getting greater protection. Wish everyone else same success on boosters.

This message came with results. Antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor binding
domain (RBD) were detected. It is yet undetermined what level of
antibody to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein correlates to immunity against
developing symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 disease. Studies are underway to
measure the quantitative levels of specific SARS-CoV-2 antibodies
following vaccination. Such studies will provide valuable insights
into the correlation between protection from vaccination and
antibody levels.

Wow. That’s encouraging news anyway! Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations @zon on your third dose booster antibodies!! That's fantastic news. Are you a kidney transplant patient? May I ask what your current dosage of MMF and Tac are daily? Also, did you receive Moderna or Pfizer? I have been testing for antibodies using the Labcorp lab.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful success. My third dose came back zero again. I am a kidney transplant patient. I take 1000mg MMF (Cellcept) daily (500 bid) and 6mg Envarsus XR (Tac) each day. I had three doses of Moderna.

Very useful information. Thanks for sharing.
