Core Tip	In a rural kidney transplant population, fewer than two thirds of recipients developed detectable antibodies after a standard two dose mRNA severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 vaccination series. Serologic response was associated with allograft function and antimetabolite exposure, while routine demographic and clinical factors did not predict antibody magnitude among responders. Because immune assessment was limited to a binding antibody assay and clinical outcomes were not evaluated, these findings describe serologic response rather than clinical protection and should be interpreted accordingly.
