As society gradually opens up again, please remember that not all vulnerable people have been vaccinated. Many have been told they have months to wait. #asthmaticsatrisk
Dear Mr Whitty @CMO_England, I believe you meant to say (twice) just now at today's press conference, when talking about those being vaccinated, "...those with pre-existing health conditions EXCEPT ASTHMA"

It’s truly shocking isn’t it 😢
We are clearly at moderate risk of #COVID19 and yet #AsthmaticsUnder50 are not being offered their vaccination despite an underlying health condition!
Raising money in aid of the Asthma & Allergy Foundation who are fighting for asthmatics to be reinstated to a priority group. https://t.co/Z0vIqYYzhC
This is heartbreaking 💔
Why are #asthmaticsunder50 not being invited for their vaccinations? Throughout the whole #pandemic we’ve been told it’s those with ‘underlying health conditions’ who are at risk? 🤯
The Govt fully expect an infection surge as we ease lockdown and they are fully accepting of this, despite the fact that clinically vulnerable asthmatics are being denied a vaccine! How is this not front page news? #AsthmaticsUnder50#AsthmaticsAtRisk@BethRigby
Vaccines are going to be wasted rather than given to CLINICALLY VULNERABLE asthmatics who are desperate and pleading to be offered one. This is morally and ethically wrong #AsthmaticsAtRisk#AsthmaticsUnder50
@NutritionHannah Oh Hannah, you’ve hit the nail on the head with your posts, this is causing a lot of #MentalHealth struggles for asthmatics, myself included. It’s been incredibly badly managed #asthmaticsatrisk have been terribly let down and treated with very little respect. 😔
Why are #asthmaticsatrisk not being offered their vaccination? ALL asthmatics are deemed either ‘high’ or ‘moderate’ risk from #COVIDー19 have suppressed immune systems yet cannot book their jabs!!!
How can the @10DowningStreet and the JCVI be justifying this?🤔
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So here's the problem; we have a surplus of vaccines going out of date and we have no one we are "allowed"(CCG/NHSE) to give them to.
🤔😡

@yvettedoc50 @NHSEngland@NikkiKF@TeamGP@nadhimzahawi@pulsetoday Please give them to your ‘clinically vulnerable’ asthmatic patients. Asthmatics relying on steroid inhalers and medication to breathe (all on the annual flu list) are being denied their vaccinations. We are all deemed moderate or high risk from #COVIDー19#asthmaticsatrisk
Study shows people with asthma on inhalers that is controlled are at 6 times a higher rate of mortality (6.3%) than people without condition (0.9%). Prioritise Asthmatics for vaccine. @BorisJohnson#asthmaticsatrisk@BBCFergusWalsh#NHSCovidVaccine https://t.co/NNsSj0ykqv
Only adult in my family with a chronic lung condition.
Only adult in my family who qualifies for Flu-Jab.
Only adult in my family not to have received vaccine yet.
