@KatharineDC thanks for raising issue of #ThirdPrimaryDoses of #CovidVaccine

This is causing a LOT of confusion for patients as there is not a clear recall system

We are told that specialist teams should advise their patients

However - if patients think they are eligible
2/n
Then I would suggest they contact their specialist teams or clinical nurse specialists for advice

The #ThirdPrimaryDose is given at 8 weeks after the 2nd dose for some high risk individuals

This is NOT the same as the 3rd #COVIDBooster being given to otherwise lower risk
3/n The Green book lists all the eligibility in detail

Here's a link to the full section, relevant pages below screenshotted @DrNeenaJha @Azeem_Majeed @PrimaryCareNHS @rich_pratt

As often is the case, much of this is about communication

The blog below stands largely true

5/n Thanks @KatharineDC for raising this

Hope some charities @VersusArthritis @RheumatologyUK @asthmauk will collaborate to produce some clear guidance to help protect our most vulnerable

Great to see Continuity of care high up the political agenda

But why does it matter?

#ContinuityOfCare 2/n 📜

Continuity of care is a highly cost effective health intervention

It does not grab the headlines as well as flashy new hospitals -
but is proven to:

⬆️ your life expectancy
⬇️ hospital admissions

Powerful evidence from the world of midwifery 🫄

They have dedicated **Continuity of Carer champions** for a reason 🤔

A thread 1/n

There are many triggers for anger; such as feeling a loss of control, being made to wait too long or forgotten, feeling as if your voice or opinions are not being heard, having your goalposts moved for you - or being unable to keep up with rapidly changing events.

The Covid Pandemic has forced sweeping & rapid changes to all our lives – probably no more so than within healthcare & the NHS

The ‘honeymoon’ period of sympathy for overstretched NHS staff with clapping on the doorsteps, free gifts and food has all but disappeared
3/n

In its wake, NHS staff are now experiencing unprecedented level of abuse on a daily basis including bomb threats, hate mail, graffiti, verbal and physical attacks
