Have you seen the new Dawn French “comedy” series that implies that infection control is a joke? This is a serious issue, particularly for Clinically Vulnerable people who remain at increased risk, and we are not laughing. 1/

Really not funny as people continue to be hospitalised from COVID and suffer post infection risks like blood clots, heart damage. How did we get to a place where the European Society of Cardiologists acknowledges that heart damage is becoming ‘more common’ due to COVID and still there is no 🧵

If you can please complain about this as it directly affects people like myself who are clinically vulnerable & have to take protective measures if we go anywhere near public life as airborne viruses are actually a threat to our life. Lifes hard enough without being mocked by unfunny tv programmes.

🧵 This autumn the UKHSA is rightly worried, as 'flu is a real risk... TLDR: Clinically Vulnerable people ALL need 'flu vaccines + antivirals this year (if symptomatic or exposed) + confused infection control guidance. If you are Clinically Vulnerable, please read on... 1/

Worryingly low 'flu vaccine uptake. Latest NHS England data: 🙋🏾‍♂️28.9% Clinically Vulnerable <65s 🤰29.7% pregnant 🥼HCWs 30.9% 🧓65+ 61.5% If we can’t reach our 'flu targets in a concerning epidemic, what hope for the private Covid protection model? - Vulnerable lives at risk!

"Clinical Vulnerability" needs to mentioned in terms of flexibility. It would be helpful to name that much more clearly. It should be explicitly mentioned in connection with a proactively supportive approach on the part of schools for the child or the family. 👏👏👏 4/

Inclusion in education: For Clinically Vulnerable children and those in CV families, attending school shouldn’t mean risking their health. 💨 Clean air 😷 Respect for masks Children are among those most frequently challenged for mask wearing. 5/ #CVAwarenessDay

Inclusion at work means: For Clinically Vulnerable staff, it is particularly important to stay healthy. Respecting masks, improving ventilation, and investing in clean air shouldn't be seen as extras - but access. 4/ #CVAwarenessDay

Inclusion means respecting and supporting those who take precautions to protect their health. That can be as simple as supporting someone’s choice to wear a mask. 3/ #CVAwarenessDay
