Pre- and Post- COVID-19 Exposure Prophylaxis: Ep2 - Solid Organ Transplant

IMPACT Medicom

In this podcast series on pre- and post- COVID-19 prophylaxis, we discuss immunization against COVID-19 and how we can protect our most vulnerable populations who are not able to mount a sufficient antibody response to vaccination.
In this second episode of the series, we discuss:

• Response to COVID-19 vaccines in the general population
• Response to COVID-19 vaccines in people who have received a solid organ transplantation
• The potential role of pre- and post- COVID-19 exposure prophylaxis for people with solid organ transplants
