The JCVI identified *30 MILLION* people who were deemed to be Clinically Vulnerable (at that time):

Shifting vaccine decisions to economic models, which consider the ability and willingness to pay, rather than public health goals will deepen existing health inequalities for Clinically Vulnerable groups.

🚨ANNOUNCEMENT:
Our open letter, signed by leading scientists & HCPs, urges the JCVI & UK Gov to reverse the decision denying COVID vaccines to millions of Clinically Vulnerable people who still qualify for 'flu vaccines.
A "willingness-to-pay" approach puts lives at risk.
