Most of those patients immuno-compromised/suppressed are some of the best candidates for the vaccine as they are at such high risk. My wife as a stem cell transplant patient, even having survived a Covid 19 infection, still took the vaccine a year later. Your doctor should know best, but the decision is yours of course.
I was told by the same person that I was not able to get vaccines anymore once I started the treatment years ago.
If someone has a suppressed immune system then they will have no immune system response to a vaccine anyway, as was explained to me years ago.

There can be times when the vaccine is not effective. For instance for the months after a stem cell transplant. And of course it makes no sense to vaccinate right before the transplant. Once the transplant kicks in, we have to train the new cells. So she has had a series of numerous vaccinations the past 2 years. Including all the usual childhood vaccines. During certain chemotherapies and immuno-suppressive agents vaccinations might not be warranted. But those decisions are above my pay grade.
What you have basically shown is a very good case as to why any sort of mandate is inappropriate at this time.
From the Article
Quote:
Among 285 cases with a known outcome, 270 were discharged, most to their homes. About 81% have made a full recovery, and the rest had ongoing symptoms or unknown status. Fifteen are still hospitalized, including three in intensive care
Quote:
There were 196 cases in young adults ages 18-24 years, while eight to 83 were expected.
Not sure of your definition, but the ones still suffering symptoms, probably are taking no comfort in being considered typical.
Even if recovery is "typical" and these people fully recover. It seems like some sort of mental mind game people are trying to play as basically what you are saying is "Yes there is a small possibility you may end up with issues with your heart, but typically you will be just fine".
This is concerning enough that a CDC Committee is convening an emergency meeting next week.
Quote:
ACIP will hold an emergency meeting on June 18 to discuss myocarditis cases and the AAP will be monitoring the meeting closely.
Now, will anything come of it or will things "work out"...only time will tell and these mandates are not giving people this time.
We are only a few months in since the "Emergency Use Authorization" was issued by the FDA. What if something like this or some other major complication turns out where recovery is not so typical?
VERY easy to replace those that walked off the job.
Plenty of nursing staffing companies that would have people ready at the go.
Bravo to the hospital for standing up for their patients.
