This week the Covid Inquiry released their report from Module 4. Just a reminder of what was said in that module…..

Five years ago those of us in the IC/CEV community started shielding. Today many of us still are. The UK government had opportunities to protect us but they didn’t. Thank you Dame Kate Bingham for your honesty. #cev #immunocompromised #leftbehind #lupus

And Sarah Steven explains the struggles her family went through whilst trying to access antivirals in a broken system. 5/

Dr. Cathy Finnis shared her vulnerable daughter's experience trying to get hold of a vaccine before she started school. She also explains the need to restore the vaccine offer to include all Clinically Vulnerable people. 4/

Proud to represent the #immunocompromised community and @cvcev.bsky.social this week. We need a vaccine alternative.

Six years of being ignored. Yesterday that changed... Four CVF members set the record straight. Starting with @larawong.bsky.social sharing our official statement: 1/

This win is built on the Public Sector Equality Duty – a right across public services. We are encouraging its use to secure adjustments for Clinically Vulnerable people in healthcare, education, and beyond, using our simple template letter: 6/ www.clinicallyvulnerable.org/post/how-cli...

🥳 This is a HUGE win for CVF! - Safe access to public buildings is a right! As a consequence of our advocacy, national voting guidance has been updated to: ✅ Improve ventilation ✅ Add air filters ✅ “See a mask, wear a mask” * VERY IMPORTANT THREAD * PLEASE SHARE! 1/

💔 Clinically Vulnerable Families, including children, are still being left behind. We're fighting for clean air, vaccines, antivirals, legal recognition etc. - but we can’t keep going without your help! Every £ supports our work. Please donate if you can🙏 & share if you can't. Thank you!
