More on vax T cell response

I attended a great webinar for healthcare people by nmss.

One study, and I will post the link if they make it available, showed a robust T cell response in people who were on anti-cd20 dmts even when there is no antibody response and no B cell repopulation. In fact, the T cell response was better in these people than in the general population 🤞

Bottom line, people on anti-cd20 dmts are protected by the vax. They are slower to clear the virus and more likely to transmit it though and may pose more risk to those not vaccinated

I’ll love to see the results!

That’s good news. A case of our body’s balance at work. When something isn’t performing something else kicks in to pick up the slack when it can It really is amazing isn’t it?
