The Alliance Advancement Series

November 30, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm• EST

Following the COVID-19 outbreak, all US citizens were encouraged to maximize protection efforts by getting all recommended vaccine doses and boosters, but there was concern about how the vaccine would affect the immunocompromised. For example, are there any special considerations for transplant recipients? During this webinar, we will welcome experts from Johns Hopkins and NYU Langone who will discuss the varying practices across the country and review what the outcome data shows thus far. Additionally, our panelists will discuss the impact of the new variants of COVID-19 on vaccine recommendations and monoclonal antibody associated immunoprotection.
