Organ transplant recipient gets second vaccine dose after going public about lengthy wait

 
OTTAWA --
An Ottawa man who thought he had to wait months to receive his second dose of COVID-19 vaccine, despite being considered a patient in the highest-risk category, is now fully vaccinated.
Steve McArdle received his second dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine at the Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus on Monday.
“It’s a relief,” said the 62-year-old. “It takes a little bit of the stress off and anxiety.”
McArdle, an organ transplant recipient, got his first dose on April 19 and was told by doctors to get his second one no later than May 17, but the earliest date he could book was Aug. 9.
