“the dampened inflammatory responses to the vaccine may have reduced the immune stress on these grafted organs. Therefore, prescribing oral immunomodulators or increasing the frequency of topical steroid administration should be considered for allograft recipients with a high rejection risk”
Most organ transplant recipients are prescribe immune-modulatory medications for life in order to ensure the body doesn’t reject the organ. She may want to ask her doctor next time she goes in!
Corneal transplant patients are given anti-rejection eye drops that usually contain ciclosporin. Any transplanted tissue will be rejected without immunosuppressants.
I am not an expert in this area. But the types of meds given and their duration depend on the case. My aunt, because she had complications after her second surgery, has to continue with the immunosuppressant eye drops. It certainly is different than a heart transplant that requires antirejection meds for life. Immunosuppressants are a double edged sword. They often deal with one issue to in turn create other issues. Damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

The way I read the study was to either need to increase the frequency or keep them on longer? The drops aren’t forever like a heart transplant?
