Unfortunately for a lot of us, the Pfizer and BioNTech RNA vaccine currently being lauded by the media can’t be given to people with a compromised immune system.
Assuming this is the vaccine that Britain rolls out en masse we will just have to either a) wait for an effective non-RNA Vaccine to come along (many other possible vaccines in the pipe-line), or b) hope good old ‘Herd Immunity’ will cut the odds to the point were we’re deemed ‘safe’ from infection.
Curiously, the most elderly people in Care Homes seem to be first in line for this vaccine, despite the fact that your immune system gets progressively more compromised the older you get. I’d love to read the ‘reasoning’ behind that idea.
