The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge speak to shielding families about the COVID-19 vaccine

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spoke via video call to two individuals with long-term health conditions who have been shielding with their families over the course of the past year, and who are now eligible to receive the Covid-19 vaccine. These calls follow recent news that the UK’s leading health charities have joined forces to form a coalition to help promote vaccine uptake amongst those with long-term health conditions, who are now being offered the vaccine. Included in the coalition is Diabetes UK and Asthma UK, who have supported Shivali and Fiona throughout the pandemic.
