It’s believed that the first round of Covid-19 vaccinations for vulnerable patients will not be completed until “well into April” after the suspension of Astra Zeneca.

Aoife Rafter is a health and wellness blogger who has cystic fibrosis, as well as recently finishing radiotherapy for cervical cancer in January 2020.
