translated from Spanish: The happiness of Lío Pecoraro after being vaccinated against the coronavirus

After receiving the bone marrow transplant donated by his sister after being diagnosed with Leukemia, Lío Pecoraro is happy after receiving the coronavirus vaccine. “Here we are, we gave battle because we decreed it, we healed it and we won it definitively. And here I am, completing almost five months of transplantation on Sunday, one day before my birthday,” he began by saying in dialogue with Juan Etchegoyen.In that line he said that he received the vaccine against the coronavirus: “I gave myself the first dose of AstraZeneca and I am going to make the antibodies in fifteen days. Transplants, of any type of organ, are immunosuppressed people who take medication so that the body does not reject the organ, beyond the marrow being something different.” My doctor pointed out to me that the marrow is one of the most delicate transplants, beyond the process being one of the simplest. I had talked to a transplanted girl who was vaccinated, so I often asked the specialist if I could get vaccinated and he told me that it was not recommended since being immunosuppressed they did not know if the vaccine could generate antibodies, “he added. ” And now he told me that, month or month less, we were in a position to get vaccinated. Thank God, for my age and for everything, I am grateful to have been able to vaccinate. I was excited,” he said gratefully. To close he said: “I was not afraid of the vaccine, it was like drinking a glass of water after everything I went through. Nothing could make me feel more difficult or complicated after the situation I went through. What was he going to grab me? A little bit of a cough, a little bit of a fever, a little bit of body aches. It’s nothing I went through,” he said.
