COVID-19 and Transplant Patients

I am not sure why there is so much hub-bub around the Covid-19 vaccines, transplants (heart for me), and guidance from Mayo. My transplant team in Phoenix has been very clear from day one that:
1. In general do not take anything without checking with the transplant team first
2. In specifics, do not take a Covid-19 vaccine until Mayo tells you to do so.
Seems very clear to me.
That said, I understand people are anxious and information can relieve the anxiety. Yet given my success with the new heart I trust Mayo. Remember, when you walk in the lobby you see the big message that says "the needs of the patient come first".
Best always,
s!

@scottij- Good morning. It's a very crazy and frightening time for a lot of people. This often leads to forgetting things were once told to you at the beginning of your journey. I'm glad that you understand this and this is why there is a lot of hub-bubs.

You are right! My Rochester transplant Care Team is very helpful and after 40 yrs with my dad's kidney I don't take chances. Love my patient portal. The team is very good about getting back to me when I have questions
