Transplant: No or Few Antibodies after COVID Vaccination

Congrats JK! At least it’s something. So far as I’ve read, I don’t think there’s a known magic number. But, coupled with masking, sanitizing, and being cautious it is probably about the best us transplant people can hope for. Sadly, we need to rely on ourselves mostly, as well as our families, friends, acquaintances, and ultimately society to be vaccinated to protect us. Risk is going to always be a part of the equation no matter where we go, so I’m hoping you can be assured by your antibodies developing so that you can visit your new grandchild!

I had a severe case of covid one year ago. I had positive antibodies from it. I have gotten them checked every couple of months. I’m getting them done again on Tuesday. I have not gotten vaccinated because of neuropathy issues and religious reasons. My hematologist told me in sept that anything over 80 is considered positive. Their office, which is the largest in my area does not require people to be vaccinated to work there but they must prove every month they are positive for antibodies. So I feel very comfortable with my situation. I know natural immunity isn’t supposed to guard against different strains but I go on with my life and am doing well. I do not put myself in foolish situations though. I had a kidney transplant 7 yrs ago.
