230,000 people with blood cancer have been shielding for over the year due to the COVID pandemic. Vaccines offer a way out of this for our community but we know that people with blood cancer do not respond to vaccines in the same way someone without blood cancer does, and there's been some suggestion that COVID vaccinations may not offer sufficient protection for our community. That's why Blood Cancer UK have launched Vaccine Research Collaborative. People with blood cancer deserve the same answers about whether the vaccines work as the rest of the population ,but the Government isn't providing the funding to do it properly and that's why I am launching a virtual fundraiser. Your donation will mean that the research needed to find these answers can be funded so that those who are protected can get back to normal life and those who aren't can be supported.
