UNIVERSITY CITY - The COVID-19 vaccines are extremely effective, but new studies show a small population may not be fully protected.Conrad Corpus, of Cherry Hill, received a new kidney in April 2017.
Just over four years later, he’s feeling great. But, the husband and father of two admits he’s concerned about new research that shows the COVID-19 vaccine may not protect people who have had organ transplants or certain blood cancers."I had my visit with my transplant team last month and, basically, told me the same thing," Corpus said."Does it bum you out?" asked FOX 29’s Dawn Timmeney."Of course, of course.
Definitely," replied Corpus.The study by researchers at Johns Hopkins found that only half of transplant recipients developed antibodies.
