@jerrynord Hi and the latest I heard from my Doctors is that for us transplant patients we can't get a live type vaccine so probably not for a while. But this is so new im sure we will be hearing more as time goes by.
Have a blessed day

@danab. Will it definitely be a live vaccine? I thought it would not be but I was concerned that if it has immune boosting ingredients like the shingles vaccine does that my transplant team would advise against it as they have for the shingles vaccine.
