A dad-of-two has been told he only has five years left to live after he was refused a heart transplant because he is unvaccinated against Covid-19.
DJ Ferguson, 31, has now had a mechanical heart pump, also known as a left ventricular assist device, fitted which should last for up to five years.
Ferguson was admitted to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, USA in November because he has a hereditary condition causing his heart and lungs to fill with blood and fluid.
