Introduction Comorbidities and immunosuppressive therapies are associated with reduced immune responses to primary COVID-19 mRNA vaccination in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). In healthy individuals, prior SARS-COV-2 infection is associated with increased vaccine responses, a phenotype called hybrid immunity. In this study, we explored the potential influence of immune suppression on hybrid immunity in KTRs. Methods Eighty-two KTRs, including 59 SARS-CoV-2-naïve (naïve KTRs [N-KTRs]) and 23 SARS-CoV-2-experienced (experienced KTRs [E-KTRs]) patients, were prospectively studied and c…
