The new crown vaccination continues. Experts earlier reminded people with low immunity to also vaccinate to protect themselves.

The Hong Kong Institute of Hospital Pharmacists pointed out that according to many studies, it is difficult to produce neutralizing antibodies for patients who have undergone organ transplantation due to their physical conditions. Only 22% of kidney transplant patients develop antibodies after both injections. Antibodies, their antibody levels are also very low. It is recommended that the authorities investigate the need for a third dose of supplementary injections as soon as possible.

Low antibody levels in kidney transplant patients after two injections of Fubitai

The hospital pharmacist society collects and analyzes literature. A number of clinical evidences show that for patients who have undergone organ transplantation, taking kidney transplantation patients as an example, only 22% of kidney transplants have been transplanted 13 to 19 days after the second dose of Fubitai new crown vaccine. The neutralizing antibody IgG of the patients is positive. Even the IgG-positive kidney transplant patients have very low antibody levels.

The society also stated that clinical data showed that the insufficiency of the immune response of patients receiving organ transplants after receiving two doses of Fubital vaccine may be related to the suppression of the patient's immune system. It is necessary to make a "personalized vaccination plan" for these patients.

There is a voice saying that even though the level of neutralizing antibodies produced by organ transplant patients is very low after being vaccinated with two doses of Fubitai vaccine, they still have T cell protection. However, the academic questioned the statement may not be established, and some studies call T cells and neutralization Antibodies are interrelated. When the level of neutralizing antibodies is low, the level of T cells will also decrease. Vaccines may not be enough to protect the vaccinators. To fully protect organ transplant patients, T cell protection alone is not enough.

According to the society, studies have shown that some kidney transplant patients are being treated with immunosuppressive agents such as Abatacept and Belatacept, and the levels of neutralizing antibodies and T cells produced by the body are greatly reduced.

Another study found that only 16.6% of kidney transplant recipients and 34.8% of heart transplant recipients of kidney transplant and heart transplant patients who had received two doses of Fubital vaccine had antibodies in their serum.

The society recommends that kidney transplant patients who have been vaccinated with two doses of Fubitai vaccine should receive a third booster dose; patients who have received two doses of Fubitai vaccine or Coxing vaccine must continue to wear masks, maintain social distance and personal hygiene Family members and caregivers of kidney transplants should be vaccinated as soon as possible to establish a barrier to protect patients; the government should test the levels of neutralizing antibodies and T cells for organ transplant patients who have received two doses of the vaccine as soon as possible to understand the efficacy of the new crown vaccine that the patient has received.
