Boston Hospital Refuses Heart Transplant For Non-Vaccinated
Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital removed an at-risk patient from its heart transplant list because he said he has not and will not get the COVID-19 vaccination.
A hospital spokesman explained it is against hospital policy since transplants are administered based on a number of factors.
Potential transplant recipients who have received the COVID vaccine face higher probability of postoperative survival.
The father of patient DJ Fergurson, explained that his son was at the top of the list for the transplant, but that it was against his “basic” principles to be vaccinated.
