Good News, on The Vaccine

Dear All,

Earlier on, well actually 'Yesterday Afternoon' now, I Telephoned Addenbrookes Hospital and spoke to, one of, Professor David Jane's Registrars. I asked specifically about the Covid Vaccine... apparently The Professor, along with all the 'other' Vasculitis/ Auto-Immune Doctors, had a Meeting.... Yes We CAN Have 'The New Vaccine'.

The exact 'Logistics', of when and where, are still Largely Undecided but, if you are 'Called' you CAN Safely Have this Vaccine. Realistically, it is 'likely' to be nearer Easter.... so, as one Expert said last year, 'It Will Be About A Year Nationally and 'Up To Three Years Internationally' Before the Virus Is FULLY 'out the System'.

I just thought that I would 'Pass On' this Definite 'Glimmer Of Hope'.

Thank you for that Andrew, great news that this has come from such an esteemed team of doctors. I had hoped that this was the case, because nobody had warned otherwise when revealing the priority list.
