People with learning disabilities 'left behind' by needle vaccine

image captionSue Keegan, from Chudleigh Knighton in Devon, is a single carer for her 30-year-old son Sam.While Sam was able to receive his vaccines as a baby, his sensory needs have stopped him from doing so as an adult."He's a very strong young man, and he will attack. He would just flip completely.

Sue Fear opted to give her 25-year-old son a small dose of Diazepam, as advised by a specialist GP, to ensure he could have the vaccine. "Even now talking about it my heart rate is going up - the stress levels for parents are really high."

To be fair not as left behind had they lived in France.

I owe you an apology to ever doubt your sincerity and professionalism. It’s was just like a dream to me when I received my first payment. After my second payment it became a reality now after several payments it has become a way of life. SamuelEddy_

Recently my friend's baby was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia & needs a stem cell transplant. Jason & his wife are first-time parents caring for a sick baby & could use some help. If you are in a place to donate or share, it would be appreciated.

My friends daughter with William Syndrome & learning difficulties is getting her vaccine on Wednesday, her flat mate (assisted living), has already been done as has all their carers. This is in the Borders. I would say they have not been ignored.

Now that really is awful, the roll out should have waited until everyone was able to have the vaccine in a way that was suitable for them. Bloody government Eh! Boris what an awful PM. Nicola would never have done that.
