There is a far greater chance of your surviving covid (if you get it) if you've had the vaccine.

Without the vaccine there is a far greater risk of severe life threatening illness (if you get covid.)

Nobody can really answer that question Keith as we’re all different but I am happy that Pete has had both jabs. He has COPD, sarcoidosis and heart disease and I still feel he could possibly end up in hospital if he caught covid. I hope you have had your vaccinations and stay safe and well. Best wishes to you.
