Does Everyone have a 'Vulnerable Person' Langured?

Dear Everyone,

As the 'Lockdown Restrictions' are being Lifted, which is- fairly safe- for most people, don't forget your 'Vulnerable Person' Langured. If you haven't got one, or it's been lost, the contact the National Kidney Federation- without delay!

I believe these Items are a 'Few Ponds' each, easily Affordable. Why not buy one for your Family/ Carers/ Social Friends?

I'm wearing mine already.

A 'Langured' is worn around the neck, normally displaying a Message of some sort. Imagine a wide tape, if you prefer, with a 'hook' for your keys, that displays the 'Vulnerable Person Please Social Distance' message. The best way I can describe it.

Thank you for your response....

In Asia, old people, sick people and vulnerable people wear mask. Practiced even before the pandemic.

I was actually trying to find a mask with motorized air vent with filter and written message like "immuno compromise" or anything similar

Maybe 'Try' a 'Mobility' shop, or other Specialist Outlet- are you Friendly with your GP, or Hospital Consultant.... worth a Try?

Sorry that I can't be more Help.

Such a great idea. Wish the lanyards were sold in US. I have found ones for a specific disease such as diabetes, but nothing like this. I will move on to look for a firm that prints via order
