TY - JOUR AU - Israr, Juveriya AU - Kumar, Ajay PY - 2025 DA - 2025/02/24 TI - Introduction to COVID-19 Vaccines and Kidney Transplant Recipient JO - OBM Transplantation SP - 236 VL - 09 IS - 01 AB - COVID-19 has presented considerable health hazards, particularly for immunocompromised persons, such as kidney transplant recipients. This population experiences increased susceptibility due to the immunosuppressive treatments necessary to avert organ rejection, potentially resulting in a diminished immune response to immunizations. The implementation of COVID-19 vaccinations has been essential in alleviating these dangers. Studies demonstrate differing levels of vaccine efficacy among kidney transplant recipients, underscoring the necessity for customized vaccination approaches. This assessment appraises the safety, effectiveness, and immunological responses of COVID-19 vaccinations in kidney transplant recipients, highlighting the significance of educated vaccination policies. Comprehending these processes is crucial for enhancing COVID-19 protection in this high-risk population and guiding continuous public health initiatives.
