The penguins were busy today! 🐧 @ZSLWhipsnadeZoo
I'm very lucky to get my first covid vaccine today. There are many asthmatics that are still unvaccinated and unprotected. They're scared anxious, and bitterly disappointed to be discluded from priority for vaccine. Long covid is a huge concern for asthmatics. #asthmaticsunder50
Replying to @andreajenkyns
Chronic asthmatics are still ignored & unvaccinated as society reopens. They're the ONLY Vulnerable group on Moderate Risk list being denied priority vaccines yet are at increased risk of hospitalisation, severe disease & ICU. Why is science not being followed? #asthmaticsatrisk

Being asthmatic in 2021: punished for shielding for a year & denied vaccine despite proven increased risk from Covid @MattHancock @nadhimzahawi @NHSEnglandNMD @CMO_England @BorisJohnson what the hell are you playing at? #AsthmaticsAtRisk #VaccinesForAsthmatics #AsthmaticsUnder50

Part of the reason why those of us with Asthma were not included for the Covid Vaccine, was because many of us took incredible care not to get infected, we didn’t die in numbers needed. Sadly, it cost us any priority for the vaccine. This evidences how cautious we’ve become.

USA CDC listing asthma as high risk = sensible. @GOVUK #JCVI @BorisJohnson @MattHancock @nadhimzahawi leaving UK #asthmaticsatrisk by throwing so many off priority list = disgusting & irresponsible. Protect us & @NHS by #flujabequalscovidjab

CDC adds moderate #asthma to"high risk" category for Covid 19. Mean while in the UK millions of moderate #asthmaticsatrisk are watching lockdown end without even having had their first vaccine, due to being removed from priority group 6.Follow the science medscape.com/viewarticle/948…

Super excited to successfully e-queue for an hour and buy a garden sofa bed 🎉🥳 rock and roll. Best Easter ever 😆 when did I get so old ! #aldi

It would be interesting to include asthma in the discussion, considering a King's College London study says asthmatics are at increased risk of developing Long Covid compared to our healthy peers - yet despite this we're being denied a vaccine #AsthmaticsAtRisk #AsthmaticsUnder50

1.1 million in the UK reporting having #LongCovid . With an increased prevalence in people with a pre-existing health condition like #asthmaticsatrisk This is a timebomb #asthmaticsunder50 will flood the NHS with long covid problems if we are not put back into group 6 today.

What about #asthmaticsatrisk when will JCVI review this evidence supporting the reinstatement of asthmatics to cohort 6? @DHSCgovuk please comment.

Start of pandemic :don't worry you are asthmatic and will be prioritised for a vaccine when it exists Vaccine arrives : don't worry it won't be long now, you're asthmatic so prioritised. 1 year on: pulled out of priority band 6. no vaccine. 😑 Still asthmatic. #asthmaticsatrisk

Just been told we cannot vaccinate anyone under 50, nor can we give 2nd dose early. So here's the problem; we have a surplus of vaccines going out of date and we have no one we are "allowed"(CCG/NHSE) to give them to. 🤔😡 @NHSEngland @NikkiKF @TeamGP @nadhimzahawi @pulsetoday

Hear hear! Asthma is always belittled. People just don't understand what it's like not to be able to breathe properly. More awareness is needed and #asthmaticsatrisk need to be prioritised and protected against Covid #VaccinesForAsthmatics #FluJabEqualsCovidJab

And we need a voice that will fight for all asthmatics. We should not be side lined for the vaccine #asthmaticsatrisk

Catch the flu. Asthma flares and you can't breathe. Catch the cold. Asthma flares and you can't breathe. Catch covid... Apparently we will be just grand. 😑 All asthma sufferers should be in band 6 priority group. #FluJabEqualsCovidJab

Why have asthmatics been removed from JCVI group 6? @LancetRespirMed study Feb 21 states all #asthmaticsatrisk high risk of hospitalisation & long Covid.A year self isolating as CV with anxiety now you’re no more at risk than peers with no health conditions. #FluJabEqualsCovidJab

Feeling spoilt with an awesome Mother's Day breakfast from my kids. The tub of baked beans 🤣 makes me happy. ❤️🥰 #MothersDay2021

People with asthma have been deemed clinically vulnerable throughout the pandemic. Why aren't moderate and mild asthmatics being prioritised for the vaccine? We won't be silent We need prioritised. #asthmaticsatrisk #FluJabEqualsCovidJab huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/a…
