I have received a baseball-style hat with "Tacro Tough" stitched on it.

I just found this on Amazon and ordered it for myself. If you’re a really fresh transplant, look away now! I don’t want you to laugh and be in pain.

I would hope the writers of this piece would know it is NOT a good idea for those of us who are immunocompromised to be going to restaurants for parties! The idea of spending time with family is great, but NKF needs to provide accurate in describing how this can be done safely for those with transplants.

Thank you for sharing your concern. We're still advising transplant recipients to follow necessary health guidance if and when they choose to celebrate the holidays outside of their homes. To learn more, please visit: kidney.org/atoz/content/imm... and kidney.org/covid-19.
