@danab I realize that Mayo had Ok'd it previously so I was very upset that MGH had not but I see why they hadn't. They tend to be conservative and without FDA approval I'm not surprised that they held off.

Hi all,
I am a transplant patient. My question is how much immunity can we expect from vaccinations taken AFTER transplant with immune suppression drugs? Are the results similar to the covid-19 vaccine (50% chance of developing antibodies) or the results better for the pneumovax 23, Hep A and B, Shingrix vaccines?
