This is an open-label, non-blinded study to assess the safety and immunogenicity of the Recombinant Zoster Vaccine (RZV) in young adult recipients of solid organ transplants (heart, liver, kidney). After obtaining consent, the patient will have pre-vaccine baseline Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) anti-gE antibody testing performed by the Weinberg lab and then will be given first dose of vaccine. Participants will be brought back 30-60 days post-vaccine for follow up testing and second dose of vaccine. Participants will then be brought in for follow-up testing at 1-2 months, 6 months, and 12-15 months after receiving 2nd dose of vaccine. Testing for both antibody and cellular immunity to VZV will be performed throughout the study. Telephone, electronic and in-person follow up will be conducted to assess for any clinical signs of VZV reactivation, any vaccine-related side effects or any signs of acute rejection.
