Cleveland Clinic Delays Ohio Man's Kidney Transplant Days Before Surgery Over Unvaccinated Donor

Cleveland Clinic Delays Ohio Man's Kidney Transplant Days Before Surgery Over Unvaccinated Donor

A vaccinated Ohio man who is in dire need of a new kidney is having his surgery delayed due to the Cleveland Clinic’s new policy requiring coronavirus vaccinations for organ transplant recipients and donors.

After more than a year of pain, tests, and finally finding a match, Mike Ganim was just days away from getting a new kidney before the Cleveland Clinic announced that patients on the transplant list — as well as living donors — are now required to be vaccinated against the Chinese coronavirus, according to a report by News 5 Cleveland.
