Well, we'll take it, Jo.

Yeah, thank you, Jo.

I'm a 69-year-old female.

You're writing like a young person, according to Norman.

And up to date with all my vaccinations, I have recently been diagnosed as having rheumatoid arthritis and am on prednisolone and methotrexate.

Well, there is a vaccination.

It's called Orexi is the brand name.

It is recommended for people over 60 if you look at the ATAGI advice.
