Hello everyone,

How are you today? 

The pharmaceutical groups Pfizer (USA) and BioNTech (Germany) announced on Monday 9 November that their vaccine candidate is 90% "effective" in preventing Covid-19 infections, according to preliminary results of their large-scale phase 3 trial, which is still ongoing. 

What do you think about this? Do you plan to be vaccinated as soon as the COVID-19 vaccine is on the market? 

Feel free to discuss and share in the comments below!

Take care,

Courtney

@Tigger.co.uk‍... My suggestion is to speak to your Doctor who can refer you to Dermatology at your local hospital. I have basal cell carcinoma and have been under Dermatology for several months now after initially  speaking to my doctor.

In the meantime, I have very dry and sensitive skin, and have found Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair (Unscented) Body Lotion very good.

@Tigger.co.uk 

Hi Tiger,

If you go down the GP route they can prescribe various arrays of creams and specialist lotions during showering (E45 or Demol etc.). Fine if you are on free prescriptions etc. like me but can be expensive especially long term. Trying various creams and lotions from Home Bargains etc. who have many over the counter lotions etc. at reasonable prices, even the ones that a GP does prescribe. Chemists tend to operate very high prices and even online prices can beat them, even paying extra postal charges, stay safe!

Body care is great for ow priced, but quality products, as well as Savers, the main difference is that Body care dont try to push people into buying stuff at the till, but at our savers they do
