I'm confused.
I've been invited for a 'flu vaccine even though I'm not within any of the vulnerable groups.
The invite states the '18-64 'at risk' group.
So, I just wondered whether autism is classed as a 'learning disability' with respect to this, as that is a 'vulnerable group' in the NHS list.
As far as I'm aware, autism is classed as a developmental disability but you can also have a learning disability with it.
Some do, some don't.
This has also set me wondering whether I will now be invited for a Covid vaccine on the same grounds.
Does anyone have any light to shed on this please (and has anyone else been unexpectedly invited to the Vaccine Party)?
Thanks.
Yes, definitely say something. I'm in my 30s and have no physical issues but I got a text inviting me to book a covid booster last week.
You might be eligible for the booster without knowing. I certainly assumed I wasn't until I got the text
Had no text message. Also end of the year entering a new age decade.
Went out for a walk before rain heavy again. Bumped into someone I know and told her I've got a cold and sinuses infection. Reply was hope it's COVID and told her I wouldn't be sneezing.
