To vaccinate or not to vaccinate? That is the question.

@contentandwell, I have a thought (okay, a question). Have you contacted your transplant team? Why wait to hear from them?

@rosemarya @estrada53 Frankly I am purposely not contacting them. I want very much to get the vaccine and Mass General is extremely conservative - for instance, they advise against the shingles vaccine but most transplant centers do not. If I contact them and they say no I will feel I have to follow that advice. If I have heard nothing from them and every other good transplant center is saying yes I may go ahead and get it since I have not been told not to.
I have heard conflicting things about Mayo. I think I heard that MN said no and FL said yes. What is the official word from them, Rosemary?

I agree with this. Why wait for an appointment or to hear from the hospital? Email your team now and ask for specific individual advice for yourself! Be proactive in this!
