Patient seminar "Organ transplantation & corona: current progress"
Video of the online seminar for patients before and after organ transplantation and their relatives
How well does the COVID-19 vaccination work for organ transplant recipients? What should be done if there is still no vaccination protection after the third vaccination? Are there treatment options for organ transplant recipients with COVID-19 infection? How well protected am I as a transplant recipient against a new infection after having had a COVID-19 infection? On December 13, 2021, the interdisciplinary Transplant Centre at Hannover Medical School (MHH) once again informed patients before and after transplantation and their relatives about the topic of "Organ Transplantation and Corona". Experts from the MHH Transplant Centre presented the current scientific status and answered questions. The seminar was recorded and can be viewed here.
