Should you self isolate if you have a cavernoma?
Cavernoma Alliance UK (CAUK) Medical Adviser, Professor Rustam Al-Shahi Salman, said that most people who have a cavernoma are not on the Government’s most vulnerable list.
He said: “Cavernoma is not specifically mentioned as a condition that requires people to have the flu vaccine.
“For most people, cavernoma is not like, ‘chronic neurological conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease, motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), a learning disability or cerebral palsy.’”
However, he added: “But for patients with cavernoma who are impaired in a way similar to patients with the conditions above, it would be sensible to consider the social distancing measures recommended by the Government.”
