At issue is whether unvaccinated patients are not only putting themselves at risk for Covid, but also squandering scarce organs that could benefit others. Organ centers to transplant patients: Get ...
As a kidney transplant recipient, Candida Moss is at a high risk of catching COVID-19. A team at Johns Hopkins University found only 54% of fully vaccinated organ transplant recipients had antibodies.
People may be at increased risk for developing diabetes for up to a year after a diagnosis of COVID-19, according to two studies. One study used data from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs ...
The mortality rate due to Covid-19 in kidney transplant recipients is 13-32% which is significantly higher than that of the general population. [79] This is thought to be due to immunosuppression status and medical co-morbidities in transplant recipients. [79] Covid-19 vaccination with booster doses is recommended for all kidney transplant ...
Some variables that may be factored into such analysis include risk of an individual from catching COVID‑19, which relate to the infection rate in that area, and the benefits to that individual if vaccinated and exposed to COVID‑19 which varies with age, versus whatever the risks of vaccination are to that individual.

The risk of transplant rejection can be estimated by measuring the panel-reactive antibody level.
