Vaccine for all those with a learning disability

published by markfeeny on Wed, 24/02/2021 - 11:45am
Just announced on the news ten minutes ago.... The JCVI have advised that all people with a learning disability (not just those with 'severe or profound learning disability) are now to be eligible for the vaccine as part of priority group 6 - those who are being invited for vaccine now.
Please tell this to everyone you know. The key thing for them to do will be to check that their family member is on the GP Learning Disability register.
Good news !!
