A member asked:
How does covid-19 affect people who had a lung transplant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Increased Risk: People who receive lung transplants are considered at increased risk due to the need for immunosuppressant medication. Contact your transplant team if you feel unwell. Maintain practices of good hygiene and follow social distancing guidelines. Do not alter your medication regimen without discussing with your transplant team first.
