Transplant: Third dose, no antibodies: How are you staying safe?

Posted by hello1234 @hello1234, Sep 4, 2021

Hi all,
I am a kidney transplant patient. I took the third dose of Moderna and still no antibodies. I live in Florida, the epicenter of disease. Because of the low vaccination rates along with the the highly transmissible Delta variant, I am living in a bubble. (If you get sick in my county, there are no beds available). I wanted to reach out to find out what kind of activities other people in this situation are doing. Are you having dinner with your fully vaccinated school teacher sister-in-law at her home? Are you having lunch with your parents at their apartment? Going to get a haircut with an N95?
Also, have you talked to your doctor or read about possible solutions for us in the future? I read that Pfizer has an antiviral pill in trial as a possible treatment after you become infected. Monoclonal antibodies infusions I think only last for 30 days of protection and we would need another infusion. Has anyone heard anything from their doctors or read something that offers hope?
Thanks everyone!! 🙂
