3rd dose vaccine

Just came across an interesting article stating the benefits of a 3rd vaccine shot given to organ transplant recipients .

acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326...

In my limited understanding of the conclusions, it seemed to have resulted in a significant increase in antibody titers.

Does anyone know if similar studies are being done for CLL patients?

I’ve seen different reports on the transplant anecdotal added vaccine, and this is now going to be a study for transplant patients. Please note cautions accompany the reports. There are contraindications for this, there may be serious complications from adding another vaccine, and this should only be done in accordance with your doctor’s consent.
