COVID Vaccine elegibility

[Idle Sean]

Hi
I'm 60, T1 and have had all the COVID jabs offered but this year my GP refused me one with my regular flu jab appointment. Apparently I don't qualify... Has anyone else experienced this? Have the rules changed?
Any advice welcome!
Ian

I discovered the same today when I followed an on line invitation to book a covid jab.
I looked up the guidelines and it seems the number of people getting it this winter is limited, it looks like they are relying on herd immunity now.

No, wait... Diabetes is still on the list in table 3. So I still don't know why we're excluded?

So it does, in the Green Book link, I confess I didn’t read that far! I’ll see if I get a personal invite from my GPs
