@almula, I am sad to hear of the passing of your sister. This pandemic has touched so many of us so very deeply. I think she would be happy to know that you are doing your best to take care of yourself by getting your vaccination.
@almula - You might be interested in this a 1-hour live webinar on Tuesday, March 23, 2021 at 6:00PM EST to share the findings and answer questions and to share preliminary findings from Johns Hopkins Research about the protection for transplant recipients. If you are unable to view the live webcast, the webcast will be recorded. If you register for the webinar you can submit a question.

@almula- Oh, my word no! This hurts my heart to hear this. Losing a sibling is like losing a piece of your history. I lost my twin several years back. My sincere condolences.
I too had my first Moderna shot Sunday. No severe reactions but had a migraine, aches pains...these are so worth it. Thank you for sharing your story and I certainly hope that it will change at least one person's mind.
Again, my heartfelt condolences.

@almula I am so sorry about your sister. It's so heartbreaking to lose a sibling, and to lose when we are so close to improvement is especially difficult, I'm sure.
Stay well.

@almula, My heart goes out to you and your loved ones on the death of your sister. Congrats on your first Pfizer vacc. After my second Moderna, I was fatigued for a couple of days but oh, what a small discomfort compared to the grief and suffering the virus has caused.
I am so sorry from your loss
@almula I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your sister. May you find comforts in the memories of your time with your sister although grieving can be an uneven and difficult process. 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️
