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

@ess77, My husband had Covid in November with mild cough and cold like symptoms. I did not get it, and I am the immunosuppressed transplant recipient. We will both get the vaccine when our group is eligible here. They are saying probably February. Expecting an update time estimate next week. Our son who is a firefighter got it couple weeks ago. I am jealous that you got yours already.😉
As a transplant patient who is immunocompromised, I can expect a lower degree of protection. I will accept any additional protection for me and for my family.
Hope to hear from you in a couple weeks when you get your 2nd dose.

Rosemary, I'll let you know how it goes.
At the moment, I'm fighting a serious infection, not vaccine related, that's in my blood. Had 2 IV antibiotic treatments at a Crucial Care Center in my neighborhood. Just got a booster today from ny PCP and taking oral as well. Lots of rest, fluids, and antibiodics. My PCP was unhappy I wasn't sent to the hospital considering my bloodwork results. Well, I couldn't reach his office after 4 calls and on hold forever. I sent him a portal message....NOT Mayo. Then, I went to the crucial care center. I knew I was ill, felt like junk, low grade fever & other symptoms....none were related at all to the vaccine! All from infection.
Apparently, sepsis is rather serious. I knew this, but haven't ever had an experience with sepsis. If not treated will lead to death. Well, I guess I'm still learning. Glad I got to the Crucial Care Center. .
I'm off to bed and rest and drinking water! Blessings to all. Elizabeth

I am as also a liver transplant patient who was tested positive on Dec 29th with mild symptoms such as mild chest cough and hard to get an entire breath. My local doctor immediately got me an appointment the next day for an an intravenous of an anti-viral experimental drug similar to what President Trump had. I went home after 4 hours and am finishing up my 14 day quarantine with all symptoms gone.
