‘I’m uncomfortable and angry’
Nicky Hutchinson, who is in remission from cancer, is hoping to be offered a booster jab.
The UK's vaccine advisory body is expected to give the go-ahead for a third vaccine dose to people over the age of 12 with severely weakened immune systems - which accounts for up to half a million people in the UK.
It comes after research showed 40% of people with weakened immune systems had a low antibody response, and potentially less protection, after two vaccine doses.
The advice means the most vulnerable - less than 1% of the population - will be offered a third dose.
Nicky Hutchinson, who is in remission from cancer treatment, is hoping to be offered a booster jab.
“I paid for an antibody test and my antibodies were incredibly low. We do need to get this third vaccination sorted,� she said.
“People who are vulnerable are just being written off and we’re just being told to stay home,� she said.
She also said that she felt the country was not learning from its mistakes.
“We open everything up, we lockdown and we do this constantly,� she said.
