Vitamin D levels is being highlighted again this year in UK, as we approach winter, and the over 50 year old population in UK , have been having their vaccination boosters for Flu and Covid-19. Low levels of Vitamin D are associated with lowered immune response to infection exposure making clinical illness more likely. Having a darker skin and little skin exposure to natural daylight, both increase the risk of having reduced Vitamin D levels.
