Hi @contentandwell 😊 I hope all is well with you!
Remember, this new PRE-EXPOSURE monoclonal antibodies shots protocol will be different from the covid vaccine shot protocol.
The pre-exposure monoclonal antibodies are for the immune suppressed community that had no antibody response to the vaccine. They will be giving us antibodies that our suppressed immune system could not make for ourselves when given the vaccine.
A healthy normal immune system sees a vaccine and creates antibodies.
Only 2% of the population will need these protective antibodies shots (transplant, cancer, etc).
They are currently used POST-exposure to covid for high risk patients, but for transplant patients we will receive these shots BEFORE any exposure to the disease to add a layer of protection against severe disease and death.
I forget JK. Was your body able to produce antibodies after your Pfizer, Moderna or J&J covid vaccine shots?

Thanks, @hello1234 my transplant center sent a message over the portal explaining the monoclonal antibodies and saying they do not have them yet so please do not call. It definitely does sound like a great step forward for those of us who are immunocompromised.

My antibody number was around 2200 or 2300, I forget which. That sounds good but I’ve heard it is still pretty low. I will be eligible for my booster (4th shot) on February 10th.

I’ve heard of a number of post-transplant who did have Covid but not severe cases which is a little encouraging but they were a lot younger than I am.
