There is a UK study that’s starting from astro Zeneca. I have sent email to see if this study will also be here at Healthpartners in Bloomington. I applied for a study out of Bloomington but haven’t gotten response yet. They specifically asked if on immune suppression meds. I will update after my consultation. I’m wondering if there was never intention to include transplanted patients in this original vaccine until they saw how it did with healthy immune systems. I would hate if this is how it was planned from the start. I feel like with everything we have all experience we can handle and hard truths. Now we will have to be patient and wait for a new study before vaccine gets green light. We have all been conditioned and have the tools to keep safe. It just may be a bit longer for us. I wish everyone the best!
I'm also very curious about this, I haven't heard anything yet and I will admit I'm concerned that based on what I'm hearing that the type of method there using is to try to get our immune system to basically produse a immune response to attack the virus. My concern is will it also cause an attack on our transplanted organ which is why we take anti rejection meds. I'm thinking that even tho they are testing on a lot of people does that include people in our catagory.
