Check with your dads nephrologist. I have had a kidney transplant and was prescribed it for shingles. Everything was ok.
It is standard to take Ayclovir after transplant. I took it for 6 months. Nephrologist said it was to prevent the CMV virus, especially during the first year. He should be fine to take it orally, just check with the doctor. Good Luck
