Due to immunosuppression, lung or solid-organ-transplant (SOT) patients are at increased risk of infection-related morbidity and mortality, particularly SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection [1-4]. Dramatically, COVID-19 vaccination changed both immunocompetent- and immunosuppressed-persons landscape [5]. A recent study revealed that SOT recipients with receiving a third dose of COVID-19 vaccination demonstrated improvement of humoral-immune response, compared to patients with receiving two doses [6].
