So you lose your liver from drinking and stop drinking to get one back and start drinking again once you get it ?
It's only a shit take to you idiots because you cant explain to me what the problem of not being vaccinated and getting a transplant have to do with eachother.
Did they also make sure he had a flu shot, Polio shot and the small pox shots ?
This is a fear mongering process for all you people to fall in line and clearly its working.
Taking someones ability to get a transplant does NOT coincide with the fact that they need a vaccine for a virus labeled as a common cold.
Sorry but you guys are reaching and its quite the pathetic of an excuse to even defend at this point.
It's very difficult to stop drinking if you have a problem enough to damage your liver. If you can stop drinking for a long enough time to get a transplant, you're far more likely to stay off when you get the liver because the calculus hasn't changed. You will kill your new liver again and be back in the same situation if you don't stay off drinking.
The answer to your question about polio vaccination is yes. If you are getting a transplant you will be fully vaccinated because getting serious infections from communicable diseases threatens your organ and your life, because you will be on immunosuppressive drugs the rest of your life. You have an obligation to maximize your chances of maintaining the organ and your life and that includes taking reasonable steps like vaccination. Small pox isn't required because small pox doesn't exist anymore due to it being eradicated in the wild, but routine immunities like polio, MMR, tetanus, etc. will absolutely be a screened requirement.
I'm not reaching at all. I'm giving you the facts of the matter and explaining their rationale. Sorry facts trigger you.
