Vaccinations: what are your plans for fall and winter?

I personally follow transplant recommendations. I am fullyvaccinated. Last year had flu, covid and also updated my pneumonia. Even though I had it, there was another update ver so I had it. I also got reviewed the previous year per recommendations. I am fortunate to not experience any negative side effects to vaccinatio s. Just too afraid to not vacinnate. I guess I am one of those strong believers in science!

I am also always updated on all of my vaccines. I always do what my doctors tell me to do. I am really angry about the possibility of not having a flu vaccine. I don't understand why people can't just decide for themselves if they want it or not. I am also over 38 years post liver transplant.

I will be getting the 2025-2026 flu shot in October and the new COVID shot when it comes in this fall.
I don't believe the information you got about the government not researching the flu shot is correct as it was approved back in June. In June, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) unanimously voted to recommend the 2025-26 influenza vaccine for people 6 months and older.
I also get Pemgarda every 3 months months by infusion to prevent COVID.

A flu vaccine will be available.

Also CDC says the US gov now has a new approved Covid vaccine covering 25/26. Yeah us.

Yes, I am 35 yrs post liver transplant . Vaccination makes huge difference in preventing hospitalization while recovering from flu, covid and pneumonia. I have survived all 3 infections with immunosuppressed immune system. I too, believe in science.

I was wrong- there is a flu vaccine- a new one coming this fall and there is a new Covid shot in the works, but with limited distribution. Thanks all for your corrections.

Hello,
That is amazing, 35 years post liver transplant. Thank you so much for sharing it. I am almost 3 years since my transplant surgery and your post has given me so much hope, inspiration and courage. Any suggestions/tips you could share with me would be so greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Hi, All - I'm a bit late entering this conversation, as I was waiting and watching for any updates like all of you have been doing. I have delayed getting a booster so that I could hopefully get an updated version. I plan to check with my pharmacist next week for any details that she might know about availability locally next week when I get my flu shot before I do some traveling. I would love to get the updated covid booster prior to travel, but I doubt that it will be available in time.

I'm 16 years post liver/kidney transplant and have been fortunate to avoid being infected with covid or flu. I do have easy access to my PCP and drop-in care in his office location where I can get immediate care or testing. I continue to be selective in where/what events that I attend, (being retired allowas me to do tha)t. and I always have my hand sanitizer and a mask with me.

I send my deepest appreciation to all of you for sharing your experiences and for the support that we provide to each other. ❤️

I am 38 years post transplant. My question is, are you having any issues with skin cancers? I was in the sun a lot when I was younger so I have had a lot of it. All have been squamous or basil cell so not dangerous if you get them taken off. I have lost count of how many Mohs surgeries I have had. I had 2 in July and now I have 2 more to take care of.
