Development Of Covid-19 Infection In Transplant Recipients After Sars-Cov-2 Vaccination

With this report of 14 patients who developed COVID-19 infection after completion of vaccination, we believe there is sufficient evidence to issue warnings that immunoincompetent populations should continue to practice strict COVID-19 precautions postvaccination. Transplant centers should reinforce that guidance given to the general population may not be applicable to the transplant population. A centralized transplant registry of fully vaccinated solid organ transplant patients who develop COVID-19 infections is vital. Further studies are critically needed to optimize COVID-19 vaccination protocols in transplant recipients.
