@rosemarya I too place my trust in my transplant team which is at Mass General. On the whole, I think they are somewhat more conservative than most transplant teams so I feel if they are in favor of my getting vaccinated I definitely will.

I think we all need to have that trust in our transplant teams. From my experience, they are extremely caring and truly want what is best for their patients. They are incredibly diligent.

I sure hope that my transplant team says OK! It is a bit scary if we are among the early recipients but I think England being ahead of us is a benefit to us.

@gingerw Does your husband have confidence in his nephrologist? If not is there a way he can change doctors? I would hate to not feel confident in a doctor who plays such an important role in my healthcare.

@guidant07 Isn't that "There is currently no vaccine approved for transplant patients" simply because there is no vaccine yet approved by the FDA? This is not explicitly saying that the vaccines that are in the process of getting FDA approval are not appropriate for transplant patients, I presume.
