🚨 IMPORTANT 🚨
Chickenpox vaccines aren’t just for children under 6.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👩🏽‍⚕️Anyone aged 9m+ and in close contact with someone who is severely immunosuppressed or high-risk (inc. healthcare workers) may be eligible if you have never had chickenpox or the vaccine.

Contact your GP!

Flu cases are higher than usual for this time of year. 🤧 Here are some things you can do to stop the spread.

Having a #flu vaccine is still the best protection against flu. 🛡️

Read our blog post to find out if you are eligible for a free vaccination: https://t.co/KDnuUEou3O

If you thought it was bad enough that the govt destroyed over a £1 BILLION worth of Covid vaccines after limiting access to them…

…then just wait until you hear about the £1.8 BILLION worth of antivirals which also sat on the shelf until they expired and had to be destroyed.

Covid vaccines for all in the USA.

Yet, the majority of Clinically Vulnerable people are now denied access in the UK.

@legalmarkmc This guidance was not widely disseminated. We were told that headteachers were advised not tell parents.

CVF tried to share this knowledge, and all Clinically Vulnerable people were potentially able to benefit.

Unfortunately, it didn't extend beyond Hampshire.

@legalmarkmc Hampshire ammended their guidance:

If a consultant level letter states that attendance at school of a child would endanger a life then the absence should be authorised.

Remote learning offered.
Any children removed from roll contacted.
Penalty notices withdrawn.

KEY EVIDENCE:

A severely immunosuppressed (CEV) family were threatened with fines and prosecution. They had legal support and representation from @legalmarkmc and Helen Mowatt.

Hampshire issued new guidance the next day.

💙💜💗Yesterday was a BIG day for CVF at the UK Covid Inquiry.

After a year of work, @lara_wong’s full written statement (much longer than her oral evidence) is now public.

You can also watch her full oral evidence on YouTube.

Highlights below.

Friendly petition competition time.

The New Forest area of Hampshire is in lead with number of signatures.

But its early days. Many places need only 25 signatures to catch up & overtake.

Send to all your local friends, families & neighbours!

Local pride for a good cause

The first Thursday of every month is Clean Air Hampshire's recurring online social in the calendar.

As the team is over-capacity, we're continuing to substitute an evening teams call with a reminder that we have a growing discord group (with social channels).

“Few people without disabilities in Britain would settle for an existence of food, heat and a wash. The question is: why should disabled people?”

Disabled people shouldn’t have to prove their worth.

We shouldn’t be forced to beg for scraps.

We aren’t worth “less” than others

Scented wax melts can release tons of tiny particles into the air — even without a flame. These particles can reach levels like diesel exhaust, especially in stuffy rooms. Breathing them in over time isn’t great for your lungs.

This month's online CAH social (first Thursday of month, 7pm) is unfortunately cancelled.

As an alternative: CAH's Discord group has a socialising channel (as well as others, eg campaigning, with ongoing events, online & in person).

Do DM if interested in joining our Discord

Handed out colourful masks on behalf of @CleanAirHants at the Basingstoke #CripsAgainstCuts protest today. 😷💙🧡💖

🪧 Our march through the city centre & food court had a catchy chant:

📢 "They say cut back, we say fight back, don't cut pip, tax the rich!"

Happy #CleanAirDay 2025!

Just as clean water is a fundamental human right, access to clean air must become equally recognized & protected. Air quality directly impacts our health, from conception through childhood and beyond. #CleanAirNow #EnvironmentalHealth
