As a newly diagnose type 2 diabetic I am not sure if as a diabetic I am able to get my 4th booster sooner than I normally would be able to. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Paul.
 
My understanding is that diabetes does not qualify us for the next round of boosters in England (this may be different in the other UK nations).
It is not considered to be a severe risk.

I’m a Type 1 and have always been classed as vulnerable via our Gp. I was way ahead of my older husband on initial vaccinations.
Got my text inviting me to book a booster/flu jab 6 weeks ago. Have them on 8th October. My age qualifies me as well. But the text came way ahead of my husbands and explicitly stated I was receiving it as a vulnerable patient.

Vulnerability has not qualified me for the latest booster although it did for the first jab. This time it is Only age. And my next booster will also be in October.
 
Not heard about our boosters yet. My OH is 66 and has, amongst other health problems, heart issues, asthma and Parkinson’s and is still not considered vulnerable by his GP surgery!
