Apr 23, 2024, 14:14 PM by John Carstens

Dr. Michael Kueht and Jared Zhang (MS4) research manuscript, “Beyond prevention: Unveiling the benefits of triple vaccination on COVID-19 severity and resource utilization in solid organ transplant recipients,” is published in Transplant Immunology. 

Despite the success of COVID-19 vaccines in lowering illness and death in the general population, their effectiveness in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR) is still unclear. This study looked into the outcomes of COVID-19 in SOTR who received two or three vaccine doses compared to those who were not vaccinated. 

A message from Jard Zhang:

“This research underscores our commitment to innovation and precise patient care, driving forward the boundaries of medical science.”

 

Congratulations Dr. Kueht and Mr. Zhang!
