@auntieoakley I had my first dose in February, but it was a half dose. They hadn't yet given the amount to be used, and I was the first one at the cancer center to get a dose. On 1 Sept I will get my second dose, and it will be the full dose. I had no reaction from the first one, just a bit of a sore butt cheek on one side!

Chris, I am a liver and kidney transplant recipient and I take immunosuppressant meds. I am fully vaccinated and boosted. When Mayo notified me that I was eligible to get Evusheld, I did not hesitate to request that it be added to my appointment schedule in May. The timing was perfect for me because I got it when I was at Mayo for my annual post transplant evaluation. I did not have any reaction. I only felt a slight tenderness in my butt when I got up the next day. I did allow myself one regular strength Tylenol before I started my day that was going to be filled with medical appointments.

Our most amazing doctor wants to give it to My Mister. In addition to every available dose of vaccine. Yep, we are in.
