Kidney transplant recipients, due to therapeutic immunosuppression, have impaired immune responses to the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, necessitating a personalized intensified vaccination approach for better protection.
Kidney transplant recipients receive therapeutic immunosuppression that impairs their immune responses to the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. For this reason, this vulnerable patient population is insufficiently protected by the standard two-dose COVID-19 vaccination programme and requires a specific follow-up to guide personalization of an intensified vaccination approach.
