You're so right, @rosemarya. Information about specific transplanted organs with respect to COVID, the vaccine and post-infection recovery is being worked on now as more and more data is collected and studied.

To all:
A small study from Mayo Clinic researchers raises the concern that some transplant patients may have a limited immune response after being vaccinated for COVID-19 with an mRNA vaccine. Their findings are published as a letter to the editor in the American Journal of Transplantation.

Mayo Clinic's COVID research related to transplant recipient continues. Patients will be updated. You can also follow updates on Mayo Clinic News Network https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/

Thank.You and just like my original instructions from transplant 3.5 years ago im so used to the Mask and other protocols I probably would feel weird to take the mask off anyway. I always have looked at the transplant as a gift to extend my life and thank God for it. I guess when you have faced death not much is worse than that anyway. Every day is a gift hence is why we call it the present.
Blessings Everyone
