Hi @contentandwell 😊
Thanks so much for the scoop! I have heard that the folks like me that are on Mycophenolate (Cellcept) and Tacronlimis have a more difficult time getting a response from the covid vaccine so your sirolimus may be one of the reasons for your successful antibodies (in addition to a possible asymptomatic bout with covid).
Also, thank you for the heads up about the second Shingrix shot. I really appreciate it JK!

Don’t expect a reaction, I know just as many people who had none, including my sister and her husband.

Last year my sister-in-law who was not vaccinated had a terrible case of shingles that landed her in the hospital two times! That spurred me on to get the vaccine but my transplant team was opposed until the CDC approved it for us. I would not want to go through what she has gone through.

My husband has had shingles two times but both cases were mild, just a bit of itching!
