Andrew Linder had two doses of the Pfizer vaccine and later an additional dose and a booster. The effectiveness of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines against Covid-19 hospitalization was 77% among immunocompromised adults versus 90% among immunocompetent adults. For transplant recipients like Linder and some other members of the immunocompromised community, the research showed that vaccine effectiveness was lower than that. For some, like Linder, life really hasn’t changed much because of their lack of immunity. She received both doses of the vaccine this spring, and she said she’s not in a rush to get a booster yet.
