Upcoming webinar on Covid vaccines in immunocompromised

Spotted this interesting-looking webinar from the British Society for Immunology on "COVID-19 vaccines: how effective are they in people with weakened immune systems?" Might be of interest to some here, especially if you're on an immunosuppressing DMT. https://www.immunology.org/events/covid-19-vaccines-how-effective-are-they-in-people-weakened-immune-systems Here's the blurb: "The British Society for Immunology is pleased to hold a free public webinar ‘COVID-19 vaccines: how effective are they in people with weakened immune systems?’ on Wednesday 15 September at 18:00-19:00 BST. Approximately half a million people in the UK have immune systems that function sub-optimally, either due to a medical condition or due to medication they take. How well do vaccines work for these people in protecting them from catching COVID-19? Join our panel of experts to hear about the cutting-edge research to understand the immune response after COVID-19 vaccination in people who are immunosuppressed and how this can be managed. What can we do in future to protect this group of people from COVID-19? What is the patient perspective and how can lived experience be meaningfully involved in immunology research? There will also be a chance to ask the panel your questions about COVID-19 immunology and vaccines. This webinar is for a public audience with opportunity for everyone to ask questions to our panel of speakers."
