I've just been to my GP this evening and had a surprise - apparently the blood tests he'd ordered earlier this month showed that I still have immunoglobins for MMR *and* varicella! So it's great that I'm spared a few jabs and the private prescription fee for the chicken pox (it's not a standard vaccination in the UK), but I just can't get my head around how I could still have the immunity post-transplant... Has anyone heard of this happening before?
