Re: Who's getting the vaccine

Plymtom, sorry to hear you have CML, I didn't know anything about the condition, I've just been reading the NHS page about it :( As I said in the previous post, I'll be getting my vaccine tomorrow, no conditions (they don't count chronic fatigue) it's just down to age.
