NEW: Next week, the Government will announce its 'Plan for Living with Covid-19' in England. 🧵
Around 500,000 people in the UK are immunosuppressed, including people living with blood cancer and stem cell transplant patients.
Many do not get the same level of protection from the COVID-19 vaccines as everyone else.

Today, with 17 other charities, we're calling for 5 key tests that the plan must meet to give immunosuppressed people the confidence and support they need to live with COVID-19. 
Here they are:
1. Directly address people’s concerns 🗣
2. Ensure immunosuppressed people have quick easy access to COVID-19 treatments 💊
3. Maintain free lateral flow tests
4. Improve employment protection and support 👷
5. Set out a plan for preventative treatments 🗨

We’re calling for the Prime Minister and the Health Secretary to urgently hold a press conference, with scientists, to explain how their ‘Plan for Living with Covid’ will protect those who remain at risk from COVID-19.
We need a #PlantoProtect.
