COVID-19 Vaccine Doesn't Always Result in Protective Antibodies, Austrian Scientists Say. Experts have found that the body of people who have undergone kidney transplantation practically does not produce protective antibodies in response to the introduction of a coronavirus vaccine. This was reported on the pages of MedicalXpress.

The study was conducted by specialists from the Faculty of Medicine 3 of the Medical University of Vienna and the Vienna University Hospital. Scientists have noticed that the level of antibodies against coronavirus infection in the bodies of people who have undergone a kidney transplant differs sharply from the level of antibodies in other people..

Further studies showed that even after the introduction of three doses of the vaccine, in almost 90% of participants from this category of patients, the absence of developed antibodies was recorded..

“It is possible that the reason for the lack of results after the introduction of COVID-19 vaccines lies in the need for kidney transplant patients to constantly use immunosuppressants throughout their lives, which have become an obstacle to the formation of an immune response from COVID-19”.
