Vaccines for moderate/high risk people?

[HJb]

Has anyone in the moderate/high risk group (not extremely vulnerable) been contacted for a vaccine?

I'm still in my 30s but recently developed a condition that puts me at higher risk - but it's not an obvious/clear cut one. So not sure if I would be contacted.

I would check with your GP that (1) your condition is one which would bring forward a call for vaccination outside your age group and that (2) if it is, the right information had been logged in the right places. I have a 30 year old (South East London) acquaintance without a spleen, for instance, who has now had the first shot. So young people with the 'right' conditions are being called forward. But if your diagnosis is recent the relevant details may not have yet been flagged to the right database for call-up.

Thank you both, that's helpful to know - I'll check with my GP next time I speak with them.

As far as I can say from my own experience and speaking with others who are categorised as clinically vulnerable, we have all received at least one text message with invitation to book a slot for vaccination from either the GP or the national centre. Yes, perhaps you need to ring your GP.
