Just spoken to my asthma nurse. No priority for me, despite my weight, diabetes, asthma and being a carer. Unpaid carers dont count.

Why does your diabetes at least not get you a group 6 position? Being a carer should also and if bmi is over 40 that too. I’d check with the practice manager if you are being missed unfairly. Or call 119 (I think it’s that one that’s doing covid vaccine bookings) and try that.Just spoken to my asthma nurse. No priority for me, despite my weight, diabetes, asthma and being a carer.

Friend of mine in Tewkesbury got a text, I still have nothing but am on tenterhooks waiting now. Have a diabetic review call on Thursday so will ask them if not heardgot my text message this evening
will book it in next few days
It came from local hospital rather then GP or hospital where I have my diabetes clinic.
Im kinda nervous about it due to no large set of data on if it causes more side effects in diabetics or not
Am I right in remembering that you've had Covid? Has this made you feel more relaxed about the jab? Or concerned about side effects? Sorry if I have mis remembered this.I am an unpaid carer for my son. The surgery know this. I suppose i will have to wait and see. I am speaking to my GP tomorrow with a telephone appointment, I may just mention to see if their records are up to date.
As far as I was concerned, I couldn't face having covid again. The side effects of the jab were minimal and infinitely preferable to that awful cough.Am I right in remembering that you've had Covid?

No not had Covid- I did have reservations at the beginning as I have allergies to some antibiotics mainly penicillin and septrin and thought I may not be able to have it but apparently it’s fine. I’m having it mainly to protect my son as without me to care for him his life would change against all recognitionAm I right in remembering that you've had Covid?

Yet Pfizer and apart from a slightly sore arm, not really any issues at all. The AZ seems from what I’ve read to have a few more symptomsI had my jab yesterday morning and it completely wiped me out spent most of last night and all day today in bed with flu like symptoms, I’m up now feeling a lot better just a bad head and a very sore arm, I had the AstraZeneca one
