Review into levels of immunosuppression
Given that organ transplant often means different levels of immunosuppression in each individual and some having very low levels of suppression could there be a review into this guidance on shielding that takes this into account just as there is with asthma and copd for example so that restrictions in place may be eased if considered safe to do so.
Why the contribution is important
While shielding is of course required and appreciated for safety it is also extremely restrictive and having an impact on the mental health of some of the groups of people who have already been affected by medical trauma. Transplants were given to save and improve lives and some transplantees have only minor immunosuppression too. Being isolated long term does not feel fair or practical in these terms.
