A trial will look at how to protect patients against Covid who also need immunosuppressant drugs.

One of the participants is 48-year-old Nottingham mum Annabelle Imray.

She was shielding earlier in the year, and says she is still very cautious now because she is worried about catching Covid."When I do go out, I'm worried walking close to strangers, or if someone is coughing without a mask I would be worried about the potential of catching something.
