News & Updates

The Transplant Medication Information Teaching Tool (TMITT)

This program will review what you need to know about medications after transplant. This includes why you need to take medications after a transplant, how to make sure you take the right dose of your medications, and how to manage your medications safely and effectively at home.

As COVID-19 cases in the community increase, we are recommending that all transplant patients get:

  • a COVID-19 booster shot
  • the seasonal flu shot

The vaccines can be given through your primary care provider or, in some cases, at your local pharmacy. Please continue with strict precautions, including masking and avoiding large gatherings when possible. If you do become ill with either COVID-19 or the flu, please contact your transplant care team for potential treatment options.

Please note: Patients need to wait at least 6 months from their last COVID-19 vaccine or last COVID-19 infection before receiving another dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

For patients 60 years and older, you may also consider the RSV vaccine, the Trillium Drug Program does not cover it and the out-of-pocket fee is $250. If you would like to receive the RSV vaccine, please request a prescription from your primary care provider.

As of April 1st 2023, the Ajmera Transplant Centre will no longer be using the Easy Call system for transplant patients. You will be transitioning to a messaging system within myUHN Patient Portal to better communicate with your care team in a fast and easy way!

Through myUHN, you will be able to send and receive messages directly from your transplant care team within 1 business day.

NOTE: If you are a Lung Transplant patient who is already using myUHN to message your care team, there will be no change to what you are currently using.

Your transplant care team is here to support you if you have any questions. For questions about signing in, registration or using myUHN, patients can call myUHN Support at 416 340 3777 or email myUHN@uhn.ca. Calls and emails are answered Monday to Friday, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
