Hi all, Rosemary is correct. Please know that Mayo Clinic is on top of this situation and your transplant teams are waiting for the official word that a vaccine is ready. Once that happens, the teams will need to gather to study the vaccine science of the ones released to be sure they are appropriate for you. This process takes time, so if the FDA releases authorization tomorrow, please don't expect to hear from your transplant team on Monday. They are waiting for guidance from the experts and officials, and then I am certain for those who are Mayo Clinic patients, we will have a statement that your teams will send to you. When that happens, we will certainly give a statement in this group. Just remember, the doctor caring for you should be the one you get your information from. We will provide a general statement here once one is available, but you should never do any new vaccines without consulting with your own care team. We are all impatiently waiting as this has been such a long haul. There's an end in sight - just try to be patient just a bit longer.

@almula, I understand your concern. This is a question that is not being ignored by our transplant teams.

You are not alone, as we all wait and wonder.
