Hi @chris13000, and welcome to the Transplants group. We have a lot of transplant caregivers here in the group and I look forward to introducing you to them. Before I do, I'd like to understand your question.

You are concerned about COVID and your husband getting infected. I understand that. Yes, the COVID-19 virus is airborne and highly infectious, especially with the delta variants and other variants yet to come. Vaccination is an important protection tool against getting COVID.

You are required to get the mRNA vaccine to return to work. That's a great advantage for protecting yourself and your husband.

Are you worried about getting vaccinated? Or are you worried about returning to work? Is you husband vaccinated?

Hi @colleenyoung, thank you for responding.
It's the MMR vaccine that I have to get for work...I understand it's airborne so I'm concerned about protecting my husband from me. I work from home, sleeping in the same bed, cooking his meals, preparing his meals things like that. Or am I overreacting? 😁
