The approval of a vaccine is a huge step towards normality, but the rules in your area have not changed. Please keep following the restrictions to protect those around you.

Great to hear Canadian authorities are getting closer to a deal with @VertexPharma for their range of #cysticfibrosis drugs. The worldwide community have been praying this would happen. #kaftrio @CFCanada @CFCanadaWestern #canada #dailyexpresscrusade4cf #trikafta

Face coverings work. Evidence shows that wearing one limits the spread of COVID-19 and protects you and those around you. Keep going, London. Share the facts ⬇️

The situation in Canada re access to @VertexPharma’s lifesaving #cysticfibrosis drugs is a disgrace. How can @GovCanHealth not sit down with the firm and thrash out a deal? Lives are at stake and sufferers cannot wait. @Daily_Express #dailyexpresscrusade4cf
Thank you, we need help in Canada 🇨🇦. Our politicians keep passing the buck while our children and loved ones are declining 😢
