The American Society of Transplantation (AST) issued updated guidance resources on August 13 relating to COVID-19 prevention:
- a joint statement with the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation regarding vaccine efficacy in organ transplant recipients
- a question-and-answer document focused on the interests of transplant patients and their caregivers
- a question-and-answer document primarily intended for transplant clinicians
Links to these updated documents have been posted to the COVID-19 resource page of the UNOS website, and a link to the transplant patient FAQ has been added to the COVID-19 resource page of Transplant Living.
