Transplant: No or Few Antibodies after COVID Vaccination

Hey @hello1234, I have eaten at outdoor restaurant settings, where there is spaced out tables and, even if covered, still good air flow. However, I will still not eat at an indoor setting. I did, however, go to an indoor concert recently and I’m going to a dance concert Saturday 💃🏼. Both venues required vaccination cards or neg test proof, and masks.

I will go to my vaccinated friends’, small Thanksgiving gathering this year.

I have to start my job on Monday, however, and return to in person work for the first time in more than 1.5 years. This I’m definitely quite nervous about as the city hall is an older building full of people I don’t know and will be working in close contact with on a daily basis. 😷

In sum, I think there are positive mental advantages to going to a limited number of outings, masked. Although, since Florida’s Governor probably does not allow vaccination proof requirements, I would be extra careful. For me, I trust my friends to know my risks, so if they have concerns about any exposure to Covid they would let me know. And, I wouldn’t gather with them.

@athenalee, Congratulations on the start of a new job on Monday. I would not be surprised at all, if there are others who work there who also have immunocompromised health conditions. Hopefully they have already set an example and paved the way for a safer working environment. As a transplant recipient, they might even have questions for you about your particular needs.
Looking ahead, I see some perfect opportunities to share information about the gift of organ transplant.
