Transplant: No or Few Antibodies after COVID Vaccination

Good morning @contentandwell 🙂 So great to hear from you. My fingers are crossed and I am hoping you got some antibodies from the booster. I think the percentage chance of us getting antibodies is only 46%. Most people I know that are on MMF and Tac do not get antibodies from the third dose. But there a few pleasant surprises out there! Now that a month has passed, are you planning on testing for antibodies?

@hello1234 My transplant department will not write a lab order for an antibody test but my PCP did for me last spring so I am hoping she will again. At that time I did have some antibodies - 13.83 was my measurement.
I am wondering if the immunosuppressant a person is on affects this and also if the level of immunosuppressant that you take does. I take sirolimus and my transplant department monitors my lab work every other month keeping my sirolimus level very close to the minimum level in the range. It would make sense to me that if a person is at a higher point on the range they would not get as many antibodies as a person on the lower end so I am hoping I will have acquired more.
