I'm happy!
This week I contacted my transplant nurse coordinator through the Mayo patient portal and learned that I should get the COVID-19 vaccine when it is available where I live. She said I could get whatever is being distributed locally. I already know that it will be the Moderna after talking with my local pharmacist, because that is what is being distributed here due to storage requirement.
Like everyone else, I am anxiously waiting, and watching my local media outlets for updated information. After I get it,1st and 2nd dose, I will contact her so that it can be added to my records.

Today I took the opportunity to listen to the newest Video Q&A on COVID-19 on Vaccines. I urge you to treat yourself to a 30 minute break and sit down for a relaxing, informative, and hopeful message from Dr. Gregory Poland, Infectious Disease Expert.

I especially like how he and interviewer/ host Halena Gazelka, M.D., used questions from listeners for the Q&A. Of particular interest to me is how the scientific community is so fact/data driven.
Did You hear any answers to you might have had? How will it help you to find some peace as you wait for your own vaccine? Or as you decide to not get the vaccine?
