Delayed and Attenuated Antibody Responses to Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination with Poor-Cross variant neutralization in solid-organ transplant recipients – a prospective longitudinal study

This study examined the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination in organ transplant recipients (who have therapeutically suppressed immunity) and found that a third vaccine dose increased serum antibody concentrations comparable to healthy controls, critical for protection. This is important to improve our understanding of how to protect the most vulnerable populations against COVID-19. Senior Author Marcia B. Goldberg was awarded the Lung Association COVID-19 Respiratory Virus Research Award.
