NRAS is part of the 18 charities and over 120 clinicians that have written to Steve Barclay MP, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to deliver Evusheld as soon as possible to protect those who are still vulnerable to Covid. You can read our open letter and write to your MP here  nras.org.uk/evusheld-update...

Thank you. I’ve already written to my MP and to shadow ministers. Also well worth looking at and joining Evusheld for the U.K. Facebook group which is helpful and informative. I joined them at the start and it’s already growing to over 1000 members. Hopefully more will join and campaign for Evusheld. Up to date info and many posts daily re all areas of immunosuppression including RA.

So pleased NRAS have been lobbying on our behalf with other charities representing the 500,000 immunocompromised who are still shielding.

I have also written to my MP and been actively involved with the Evusheld4theuk Facebook and Twitter groups after Neonkittie told me about them. The number of members continues to grow and we all actively support the campaign to get Evusheld bought and rolled out in the U.K.

Thanks for doing this. I have yet to catch Covid 🎉. But good to know this is being pushed in case I do 😇.
