A message from Fr Matthew about Covid-19 vaccines: why you can (and even should) receive the vaccine when offered. Fr Matthew's message is posted in a video on facebook that is linked here:

Fr Matthew is parish priest at St Teresa's parish, in Newbury Park, East London. The parish lies in the London Borough of Redbridge, one of the hardest hit boroughs in the recent wave of COVID infections (yesterday, along with two neighbouring boroughs, it was described in one media outlet as being part of the "COVID triangle").
Fr Matthew's message offers a well informed and relevant message for his parishioners and for others. As I post, the presbytery are completing the last day of a period of isolation after Fr Matthew's wife (Fr Matthew is a former Anglican clergyman) tested positive for COVID-19 as part of her regular screening as an employee of the local NHS hospital trust. Thankfully, all in the household appear to have been well throughout the isolation period. But please keep in your prayers the patients and their families being cared for in the two hospitals run by the trust, many of whom are very sick; and the paramedics, doctors and nurses who are working in very challenging circumstances to care for them..
