Would you like to help with a research study to better understand why some people with inflammatory conditions affecting the joints or the gut, and treated with immune suppressing medications get vaccinated, while others do not?

Vaccines against flu, pneumonia and Covid-19 are recommended for people with inflammatory conditions treated with immune-suppressing medicines. However, many such people do not get vaccinated. Researchers in the University of Nottingham are undertaking a study that will tell us why some people with these conditions get vaccinated while others do not.

Hi John. Can you shed any light as to why the patient information sheet won’t open on my iPad?

It opens via our iPad but you have to click on the circle next to the link to open the document.
