A group of other charities and patient groups, are supporting a rapid survey aimed at all adults with a rheumatic condition in the UK, to understand the progress of the roll-out of third primary COVID-19 vaccination doses for people who are severely immunosuppressed. We have heard from patients reporting difficulties accessing third primary doses. We hope the survey will help us to understand the scale of any issues, what has worked well, and what has not.
Please complete the survey whether or not you have received your third primary vaccination dose yet. You can also complete the survey if you have a rheumatic disease but do not think you are eligible for a third primary dose. This is a rapid survey so it will close on Monday midday 8th November.
Full guidance on third primary doses can be read here.
