I'm 2.5 year out from a liver and kidney transplant. I'm on 4mg of tac a day. I'm also on Insulin and BP meds, as well as Gabapentin for neuropathy. I had zero antibodies after 2 FULL Moderna shots, however after 4 Full shots I requested a titer test and I now do have a high level of antibodies. I'm 70 years old. I hope this information helps others. BTW I also had Carotid artery surgery and a double bypass after my transplant and I feel great.

That’s excellent! Congratulations on your good health as well!

It probably helps your antibody development that you don’t take Mycophenolate. I’m just over one year after liver transplant, on 6 mg Tac, and 1,000 mg Mycophenolate. Mycophenolate interferes with lymphocyte production, which is one of the antibodies measured.
