I have no knowledge of any transplant patients contracting Covid-19. I have no plans of getting a vaccine for something that I have no knowledge of any of us contracting the virus to begin with. Just my personal opinion of course. Have a great rest of your day.

@tjgisewhite, Like you I have not known any transplant patients personally with COVID-19. When I asked at my annual evaluation appointment, I was told that have been transplant patients with COVID-19, and deaths. I hope that when some of these promising vaccines are approved, that each transplant center will give their patients the scientific information and guidance in making the best decision. I fully expect this to not be a 'one-size-fits-all' situation.

Have you been able to have your 4 month check-up since your new transplant? How did it go?

I have had Covid19, all I had was a dry cough....nothing else, I am worried about the way this virus in going. I don't think the truth is being told and numbers are miss represented. I'm also concerned about this vaccine, it is being run through very quick and its an mRna vaccine, I personally don't want anyone messing with my DNA...I will not be getting the vaccine, I will do as I've always done ......practicing good hygiene, and regardless of what the experts are telling you, there is no cure for a virus, only maintenance. I mean I could die of pneumonia, I don't mind wearing the mask for a while but we have to get back to normal, or there'll be other consequences, other than the virus.
