AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) – A Colorado girl with stage 5 renal failure was months away from getting a brand new kidney. Now, she and her donor are on the lookout for one other hospital after studying UCHealth’s new coverage.

In keeping with UCHealth (College of Colorado Well being), the vast majority of transplant recipients and dwelling donors at the moment are required to be vaccinated towards COVID-19. Neither girl has acquired their photographs.

“It’s your selection on what remedy you will have. In Leilani’s case, the selection has been taken from her. Her life has now been held hostage due to this mandate,” stated Fougner.

Fougner says she hasn’t acquired the vaccine for spiritual causes. Lutali hasn’t gotten the shot as a result of she says there are too many unknowns. Till final week, neither girl thought they wanted to be vaccinated for the transplant.

“On the finish of August, they confirmed that there was no COVID shot wanted at the moment,” stated Lutali. “Quick ahead to Sept. 28. That’s once I came upon. Jamie discovered they’ve this coverage across the COVID shot for each for the donor and the recipient.”

UCHealth says they’re “non-compliant by not receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.” The hospital has given them 30 days to start the vaccine sequence. In the event that they refuse, they are going to be faraway from the kidney transplant listing.

“I stated I’ll signal a medical waiver. I’ve to signal a waiver anyway for the transplant itself, releasing them from something that might probably go unsuitable,” stated Lutali. “It’s surgical procedure, it’s invasive. I signal a waiver for my life. I’m undecided why I can’t signal a waiver for the COVID shot.”

UCHealth just lately applied the coverage to guard the well being of its sufferers.

In an announcement, UCHealth stated:

“For transplant sufferers who contract COVID-19, the mortality charge ranges from about 20% to greater than 30%. This exhibits the acute danger that COVID-19 poses to transplant recipients after their surgical procedures”

UCHealth and transplant facilities throughout the nation have necessities in place to guard surgical sufferers. For instance, sufferers may be required to obtain different vaccinations like hepatitis B and MMR, and even make life-style modifications. UCHealth says these necessities enhance the chance {that a} transplant will likely be profitable and the affected person will keep away from rejection.

“Right here I’m, keen to be a direct donor to her. It doesn’t have an effect on some other affected person on the transplant listing,” stated Fougner. “How can I sit right here and permit them to homicide my buddy once I’ve received a superbly good kidney and might save her life?”

The ladies haven’t been capable of finding a hospital in Colorado that may do the transplant whereas they’re unvaccinated. They’re now different states.
