Immunological Safety and Effectiveness of the First Booster Dose of mRNA Vaccines Against COVID-19 in Kidney Transplant Recipients.

March 5, 2024 updated by: Prof. Ondřej Viklický, M.D., Ph.D., Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine

Assessment of Association Between 3rd Dose of mRNA Vaccine and Risk of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Kidney Transplant Recipients, Safety and Immunogenicity Assessment.

Prospective observational trial to assess immunological safety (anti-HLA antibodies, donor-derived cell-free DNA) and immunological effectiveness (anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG) of the first booster dose of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines in kidney transplant recipients at least one year from transplantation.
