[QUOTE="TashT1, post: 2337050, member: 526953"] I’ve not seen anything. I would imagine that this will be trialed further down the line as the study samples are not huge. Effectiveness by age group is an easy one to measure at first since the immediate goal is to answer the question - does this work? Followed by - is this safe? I read a headline that diabetics would be high up on the vaccination priority protocol but admittedly I didn’t follow that up. But my understanding is that having diabetes does not mean vaccines are less effective, just that we are more likely to become seriously ill should we contract the disease. The flu & covid diseases do not seek out diabetics but if we become ill we are more likely to be seriously ill. [/QUOTE]
