@VICKICOFFEY We actually weren't told that, we were told that it "may" prevent some from getting the virus but as it was an experimental vaccination, they were still learning about it; this article explains how it all went.
"There are still many unanswered questions as this is only interim data. We do not know if the vaccine stops you spreading the virus or just from developing symptoms. Or if it works equally well in high-risk elderly people.The biggest question - how long does immunity last - will take months or potentially years to answer. There are also massive manufacturing and logistical challenges in immunising huge numbers of people, as the vaccine has to be kept in ultra-cold storage at below minus 80C.The vaccine appears safe from the large trials so far but nothing, including paracetamol, is 100% safe.How does it work?There are around a dozen vaccines in the final stages of testing - known as a phase 3 trial - but this is the first to show any results. It uses a completely experimental approach - that involves injecting part of the virus's genetic code - in order to train the immune system. Previous trials have shown the vaccine trains the body to make both antibodies - and another part of the immune system called T-cells to fight the coronavirus."

Hello everyone, how are you feeling today?
Just as life had started to settle into a new kind of normal, a new COVID-19 variant, called NB.1.8.1, or “Nimbus”, is making headlines across the UK and beyond. Health officials are warning that this highly transmissible strain is now spreading in the UK, with confirmed cases rising.
🧬 What do we know so far?
📈 For now, the variant is classified as under monitoring, meaning more data is needed, but with rising international cases, UK health professionals are urging caution, especially for vulnerable groups.
💭 Let’s talk about it:
For many in our community, especially those with chronic illnesses or weakened immune systems, news like this can be unsettling, exhausting, or even triggering. If you’re feeling unsure of how to respond, you’re not alone.
Whether you’re taking extra precautions or just keeping an eye on updates, your feelings are valid. There’s no one “right” way to move through this.

👥 This is a space for compassion and care. For sharing your thoughts, your questions, and even your weariness. We’ve been through a lot, together, and we’re still here, holding space for each other.
If you’re not sure how to feel right now… that’s completely okay. 💛
Take care,
Somya from the Carenity team 🌼
