Hi Erica, I feel just as you do. So much uncertainty. I have a telephone appointment with the Haematology dept next week and will ask them how effective they think the vaccine will be for me. I’m preparing myself for “we don’t know” so I may continue shielding for a few months more. I would love to see my son and granddaughter again…it’s been 15 months since we met. I’m sure everyone else on this site is in a similar situation. There is a sort of security in shielding and I know I will feel very anxious when it’s time to start mixing with other people. Although I want to see people again, I also dread it if that makes sense. Perhaps I’m turning into a hermit! I’ve certainly got the hairstyle…
