Solution: Get vaccinated. (It's Postmedia, so odds are pretty good the story is exaggerated or outright fake)
Even if it’s not fake… this is kinda how it is. You’re required to jump through so many hoops to get a transplant. One of the steps is to suppress your immune system, and not taking one of the required vaccines increases the chances of not only your death, but the waste of the organ.
Agree. Vaccinations are important, especially in the case of transplants.
It is not fake, this has been going on for a while now.
