Great links Suzy, thanks, but again no mention of CNSV in the list.

I don’t think CNSV will be on the list as an individual disease , all types of Vasculitis are recognised as high risk but the medication you are taking and what damage the Vasculitis has caused will put you in a higher risk group. There is an update on the website I will will post it, it may help with more information

Hi Suzy, I registered ( more than once) and received text acknowledgement. Meanwhile I called surgery who issued letter based on my notes - Pred/ Rituximab and lung disease. However, there does not seem to be a connection with central Gov base! Desperately need online shopping. Concerned!

When I call Gov helpline it does not recognise my NHS number. Any ideas??? Thanks
