Research from MedUni Vienna demonstrates that SARS-CoV-2 vaccination supports immune response in immunosuppressed patients Patients under immunosuppressive therapy can still develop good immune responses to a SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. A third dose of vaccine might be necessary for those patients who are unable to produce antibodies. This is indicated by a recent MedUni Vienna study. Patients […]
