Hi I’m new here as a nutritionist I’ve been medication free for years but recently gone back on MTX because of r hand. scared about lack of research for covid vaccine on (a) auto immunity and (b) for those on immune suppressants will our immune system even recognise it the DNA or will it add to immune loss
Hi all! This is my first post! So hello to everyone! I just wondered if people had received letters in the post and PCR test in case you are positive for covid so that you can be given antiviral treatment quickly? I read on the government website that people with autoimmune disease will get one by today (if not you have to…
On Monday 21st February the Prime Minister outlined his "plan for living with COVID-19" which effectively ends all remaining COVID-19 restrictions in England.

Reports in the press today of the 4th booster jab not yet needed. (read edit below) so where does this leave us immuno suppressed who have already got an appointment for the 4th jab or like me who are expecting it in the next 7-10 days.

Where will the Octave Study results be published? Thank you.
