I had a kidney transplant in 1981 from my dad who passed away in 2007. His kidney is now 91 yrs old! Two weeks ago I received a reply on my Mayo portal saying that both vaccines can be given to transplant patients. The vaccine will only be 65% effective, not 95%, on transplant patients. Communicate with you transplant team.

Thanks for the info.
Knowing your Dad's kidney has been safe, sound and functioning for 91 years gives me so much hope. ♥️

Yes and thank you.I already know that the vaccine will not be 95% effective, because those individuals who are on immunosuppressives have a less active immune system, than the individuals who aren't on any immunosuppressives at all, their the ones that the vaccine will be 95% effective.
I have already communicated with my team, thank You.
The information on this site, I'm already familiar with.
