A third dose of BNT162b2 restores antibody levels to high levels in dialysis patients but levels decline over time. A third dose did not necessarily prevent infection, but no patients suffered severe infection or required hospitalization. SARS-CoV-2 recovered patients appear to have a blunted rise in antibody levels after a third dose. Although patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 postbooster had an immediate spike in antibody levels, these declined over time.
