    Linda, do you know why they've decided to give the vaccine to pregnant women and diabetics before children and healthcare providers? :confused:

    Because pregnant woman and diabetics are the highest risk for complication as far as I'm aware.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Well it's difficult to assess exactly how good as we are using a 'qualitative' fit test rather than a 'quantitive' fit test (particle measuring machinery costing thousands)

    The FFP3 filters are effective at filtering approx 99% of particles down to 0.1 micron (we'll be using them for aerosol generating procedures - bronchoscopy, dentistry etc...)
