COVID and Pegylated Interferon
At my last Haematology appointment the Dr told me that Interferon helps strengthen the immune system. I have also read that Interferon has been given to some patients with COVID to help with their recovery. I therefore wonder if the latest upcoming booster vaccination is required. Does anyone have

I work in a health care setting which means I’m likely to come into contact with covid patients 🫣 I’m feeling a bit vulnerable and worried my GP hasn’t advised me of what I should know or be doing? I’m also

Good news or bad? Not sure.
