HiI don’t know if I missed it but do we know who the authority is who provided the guidance.

Hi John,

Do you know if there is any news of the AstraZeneca antibody combination, dubbed AZD7442, which is in phase 3 trials and which is deemed suitable for immunising people who are immuno-supressed against Covid?

Good Morning John

I hope you are well. I have read the information you have given regarding the vaccines for Covid , and the message is if you are offered a vaccine, then take it. However, yesterday on BBC news Professor David Salisbury, who is Director of Immunization for the Dept of Health, said that the Pfizer vaccine would be the choice for people who are immunosuppressed. Do you know anymore about this, and how we would need to make a request to have the Pfizer vaccine. I have just moved to South Wales, and picking up the pieces here. I of course now have a new GP, and have been referred to the renal Dept at Morriston hospital, having previously been with Derby Royal. Wales appear to be not so advanced with things as England yet!
