A NATIONAL charity is calling for kidney disease patients to be moved up the priority list for the Covid-19 vaccine.
The National Kidney Federation is calling for in-centre haemodialysis (ICHD) to be treated the same as elderly people in residential homes.
Kirit Modi, NKF president, said: “Those who dialyse in a centre seem to have been forgotten in the prioritisation announced by the government.”
The charity says the 24,000 patients with end-stage kidney disease.are vulnerable, due to the 12 hours receiving treatment per week.
