Transplant: No or Few Antibodies after COVID Vaccination

@athenalee Well, I had Pfizer and am older but I am five years out from transplant - my transplantiversary is 09.23. I think it makes sense that new transplant recipients would have a lesser response since they are probably on a higher dose of immunosuppressant. As I said, my transplant department watches it carefully and I am just a tiny bit above the low end of the range.

I am definitely writing a message on the portal to ask my PCP to write a lab order for me. It's particularly important to me because my decision on whether or not to fly to Denver could hinge on that. Will your transplant center write a lab order of the antibody test, or have you not asked? Maybe I will try the transplant department first to see if they will.

Happy five year anniversary! 🎉🎊🎈if your primary won’t order I’d definitely check with your team, maybe explain your circumstances. I’m not sure if I’ll get a booster as the first two increased my neuropathy. I see my neurologist next month so I’ll talk with him about it.

Let me know what the results are.
