Here is a list of personal reflections on what we know and don't know about COVID-19 and other infections.My husband has a very strong reaction to the vaccines - he gets a flu-like illness for four days. Paracetamol helps to some extent but he still feels ill. Is this common in CLL patients and is there anything that can be done to alleviate this reaction?
In this week's podcast we learn about the importance of the COVID-19 and flu vaccinations, and the rationale behind these programmes. Host Fergal Fox talks to Dr Sarah Geoghegan, Clinical Lead of the National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC), and Gillian Buggy, Regional Flu Lead for South East Community Healthcare as they explain how vaccines work and what to expect when getting vaccinated.

Change is only achieved with the evidence from these surveys.

Very important information regarding vaccinations.
The HSE is concerned with the low uptake of the flu and Covid vaccine ahead of a busy winter in our health service.
Dr Colm Henry has written to advocacy and representative groups to encourage people to avail of the flu and covid vaccines.
CLL Ireland also encourage our members to get vaccinated and that it's also available for those who live with an immunocompromised person which offers wider protection.
So are they saying that the Covid vaccine efficacy for people with CLL has been substantially improved?
