Multiple studies have shown that individuals with kidney failure who are undergoing dialysis mount weaker antibody responses after COVID-19 vaccination than people in the general population, but new research indicates that these individuals’ immune responses are still capable of protecting against SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe COVID-19. The findings are published in JASN.
