But those vaccines actually worked.

What are your thoughts on the influenza vaccine? Cause that is also required of anyone wanting to be on the transplant list. Has been required wayyyy before COVID and I never saw a thread on here about people being upset about people being denied a transplant for refusing a flu shot

Vaccine requirements have always been a thing for those needing a donor organ. We simply don’t have enough organs for everyone needing them so making sure every possible measure taken for an optimal post transplant outcome is standard.
