Implications of defective immune responses in SARS-CoV-2 vaccinated organ transplant recipients

Sci Immunol. 2021 Jul 1;6(61):eabj6513. doi: 10.1126/sciimmunol.abj6513.

Abstract

Organ transplant patients have poor immune responses to COVID-19 vaccines; thus designing vaccine strategies to protect this vulnerable population from SARS-CoV-2 infection is crucial.
