tl;dr version - very heterogenous response to RSV vaccines among immunocompromised patients (mostly SOT). Only ~60% "seroconverted" meaning had at least 4 fold rise. Slightly better chance of seroconverting and achieving "high titer" response among those that received adjuvanted vaccine.#IDsky #TxID
