A nurse prepares a shot of “Comirnaty” Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus disease vaccine at the vaccination centre. REUTERSpix: A hospital in Boston refused to perform a heart transplant on a patient who had not been vaccinated for Covid-19, US television media reported Wednesday.
The patient’s father, David Ferguson, appeared on news channels CNN and ABC to share the family’s story, saying his 31-year-old son has been to the “edge of death” and “pushed to the limit” waiting for a heart transplant. The hospital “requires several CDC-recommended vaccines, including the COVID-19 vaccine,“ Brigham and Women’s said the statement.
Arthur Caplan, a medical ethicist at New York University, told CBS: “Post any transplant your immune system is cut off. Covid could kill you.”
