Thanks @Alice_BloodCancerUK, very useful information, I am not going to get an antibody test myself, however if my medical team prescribe it then it I will go for it.

HI
I have E.T. and I’m 68 years old, and I’m just wondering when talk of compromised immune systems in blood cancer and vaccine not being as effective, are you meaning blood cancers such as leukemia which have a much higher dose of Chemo
My consultant has suggested that after research and now that there is a better understanding of Covid I might not have been placed on the shielded list had it been constructed now.
Any thoughts will be welcome
Thanks
Val
