Amanda is severely immunosuppressed. Vaccines don’t protect her. The antibodies that could? - Never funded So while the world “moved on,” she’s still living in isolation. This is what “Living with Covid” still means in 2026.

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

🥳 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/

Support for clinically vulnerable electors - alongside increasing ventilation of the room either through opening windows or doors or using HEPA filters where windows or doors cannot be kept open, you can ensure face masks are provided for polling station staff to use (using see a mask, wear a mask as a basis) and promote the use of social distancing when interacting with clinically vulnerable voters. Your staff training should cover how you can offer to conduct photographic ID checks for mask wearers, including whether checks could be conducted outside for these voters if photographic ID is required for your poll.
