Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Factors affecting functional antibody responses in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) to current SARS-CoV2 vaccines are not well understood. Here, we measured vaccine-induced neutralizing activities against the D614G-CoV2 baseline virus and eight variants, including Omicron, in a panel of CoV2 infected- (n=13) and uninfected- (n=63) vaccinated kidney and heart transplant recipients. In the CoV2 uninfected-vaccinated subset, only 19% and 35% of two and three-dose vaccinated recipients respectively possessed minimally protective neutralizing plasma antibody titers (IC50>150) against D614G. In contrast, all of the CoV2 infected-vaccinated SOTRs who received two vaccine doses possessed titers exceeding minimal protection; 12/13 exhibiting strong protection (IC50>1600) against D614G with minimal increases provided by a third dose. Omicron was the most resistant variant only 10% of CoV2 uninfected-vaccinated SOTRs reached the minimally protective neutralization titer, while 76% of CoV2 infected-vaccinated SOTRs exceeded this value. These results indicate that prior infection and vaccination can induce highly protective antibody responses in many SOTRs, and identify important factors (shorter time since transplantation, prednisone administration, and African American ethnicity) that limit these responses. Overall, these results suggest factors to consider in establishing optimum COVID-19 vaccination strategies in these cohorts.
