Many thanks @Josh DUK this looks as a useful event.

Some questions:

Have there been any adverse re-actions from any of those already vaccinated?

Is there any indication that reactions/ levels of immunity may be different for people living with Diabetes?

Do we know how many who are living with Diabetes have been vaccinated so far?
