1/ A 🧵- I support the #Forgotten500k who are being denied the lifesaving treatment #Evusheld. Please read my previous thread for more background @RobertJenrick @theresecoffey @Jeremy_Hunt @DHSCgovuk @evusheld4theuk @APPG_VGP 2/ The immunocompromised continue to be denied access to this treatment despite compelling clinical evidence and supporting data, and extensive support from clinicians and patient support groups. There is fantastic advocacy for the use of #Evusheld from @drlennardlee
