Summary

This study will enroll individuals who have:

* Completed primary series of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, and
* An antibody response ≤ 2500 U/mL measured at least 30 days after the last dose of vaccine.

This group of patients is at high risk for severe COVID-19 disease due to pharmacologic immunosuppression and a high prevalence of non-transplant risk factors such as obesity and diabetes.
