New Asthma shielding guidance - Help!

[littleblackdress04]

DS 12 has only recently changed to an inhaler that’s on the list and now I am freaking out as we have no outside space! Obviously I want him to be safe but can we not even go for a walk round the block avoiding all people? Really worried about it all - haven’t had a letter yet either

Have you had letter from gp saying he must self isolate?

No not yet but he had an asthma attach a month ago & had one lot of burst therapy. He’s moved onto seretide 125 which is on the list since then

Do you have a link to the list of inhalers included btw?

Yes- it’s on here: www.asthma.org.uk/advice/triggers/coronavirus-covid-19/

Thanks. Dh takes symbicort but a lower dosage than is on that list.

If he needs to shield I'm sure he'll get a letter soon.

Just checked my sons inhalers and according to asthma guidance he classifies at risk too. Nightmare

We’ve not had a letter or text either.

Have you had a letter op? I’ve had nothing. Letters were all supposed to be out today which has left me wondering....
