Not worried about Liver, On to Vaccinations

My Liver biopsy was "unremarkable" nothing suggested a cause for my trouble. I stopped worrying and will let "tincture of time" address it (it is quite likely that it was just one of the post-transplant meds were irritating my liver). I stopped the antibiotic in November, which was also my last appointment, and at which we said I'd start "childhood" vaccinations in February 2021. We did a seasonal flu shot too, since it was (1) worth a try before the worst of the flu season (2) cheap and low risk and (3) if it didn't work it was still worth a try (and a try again next year) Feb 4th is my next appointment, and we'll probably do one or two of the kind of vaccinations that a 1 year old would have (but on a slower 3-month interval over the next 18 months of maybe 2 shots per visit, and 3 months between boosters). MEANWHILE: I got a slot for the Covid vaccine. I'm on that list of immune-compromised "at risk" people who, if it works as a vaccine, that'd be a much better way of encountering COVID rather than as a "first impression" contagion. I will go this Thursday to Temple Israel (the synagogue down the street from Beth Israel)

Consult with your physicians or do consult online with professionals of good liver transplant center as they would be able to guide you in the right direction.
