Hi everyone! Does anybody know if registered diabetics are eligible for the autumn covid booster in the U.K. ? I’ve struggled to find that information. Thanks .
 
As someone with Type 1 (who has no other medical conditions ... including old age), I have been invited for my flu and covid jab next month.
I do not know if this covers everyone with diabetes.
 
As a type 1 my Gp has always included me In the vulnerable. During the pandemic I was in the shielding group. Was a bit of a surprise but has benefited me long term.

Here’s the info from the government website on who’s eligible and the roll out

JCVI advises on eligible groups for 2023 autumn booster

The relevant info is in a link from that link, table 3 on p 23

"Diabetes mellitus and other endocrine disorders Any diabetes, including diet-controlled diabetes, current gestational diabetes, and Addison's disease."
