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
