| 1. The longevity of immune response measured using the Roche COVID-19 antibody quantitative assay (Elecsys Anti SARS CoV 2 S assay [Elecsys Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S.09289275500v1.0]), measured monthly in dialysis patients and four monthly intervals (monthly if logistically possible) for renal transplant patients, up to 12 months following the second SARS-CoV-2 vaccine 2.
