I had a liver transplant in 2016. I had my J&J vaccine before the recommendation came out to stick with the same vaccine as the first two. I based my decision on what this liver transplant doctor and himself a patient did. Watch the video for more info. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABijrAwUv_c&t=249s

@diana61 I had seen that video also and something else made me think a J&J would be a good option but my transplant team said to try to get the same for a booster and if that was not available to get the other of the two-dose vaccines. I had Pfizer for all three shots.

I am wondering too how much which immunosuppressant you are on affects the antibody result. I am a liver transplant patient but take sirolimus due to tacrolimus causing kidney problems. My transplant team would not order a lab test for antibodies so my PCP did. I think I will ask her to do that again.
