Yes, of course, Catherine. Some vegans on a very strict diet over a very long period have been known to fall seriously ill from lack of B12. This is why the Vegan Society itself recommends choosing foods which have it added, or else taking a supplement:

To be honest, I do eat non-fertilised eggs from a neighbour, who has chickens which lay eggs without a cockerel. They are happy creatures, who wander all over the place, including on to our land as well that of their caretaker! I believe that Tobi also eats non fertilised eggs, from a near neighbour in a similar situation. Chickens lay eggs naturally without a cockerel, so it is a shame for them to go to waste and rot away.
B12 can also be obtained via vegetable spreads with yeast (e.g. Marmite). I used to love Marmite, which has lots of B12, but unfortunately in recent years I got candida, so I now avoid it.
Going back to protein sources, the old "student's standby" of baked beans on toast contains lost of protein, in two forms! Maybe they eat it because it is cheap (I did as a student in the long distant past, LOL!), but it is a good well balanced and nutritious meal, especially if the bread is wholegrain.
