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

@silverwoman @loribmt I was contacted by my transplant hospital, Mass General in Boston, and they set up for their solid organ recipients to get the vaccine, so that's definitely an endorsement.

I got an appointment for my first shot last Sunday, and my second one is scheduled for February 14th. NH is doing quite well with getting the vaccine to those over 65 but I was able to get it sooner at Mass General so I chose to go there. My husband will get his here on February 5th.

@danab I wish I had saved the article I read, but in the rush in to get the vaccine out there were no compromises on safety. The things that were a bit bypassed were learning further information such as just how much immunization the vaccine will provide for those of us on immunosuppressants, things like that. The nurse who gave me the shot at MGH thought that after enough people who are immunosuppressed have gotten the vaccines they will do a check to see how many antibodies they have.

I don’t know if this has been posted before, John Hopkins is conducting a “COVID-19 Antibody Testing of Recipients of Solid Organ Transplants” being led by its transplant team. https://transplantvaccine.org/
