I would like frontline workers to have absolute priority, together with the extremely vulnerable. At 78, I don't have to go out to work. I am content to stay snug at home, with sorties at quiet times to shop and exercise. I can even choose to have my groceries delivered free of charge. Imo those obliged to travel to work in shops, hospitals, schools etc need vaccination far more than I do. I worry about my daughter, aged nearly 60, who works in a large primary scdhool and tells me teachers will not be getting priority. In any case, there is now talk of the new vaccine's giving 50% immunity. That would not be enough to lure me back to normal exposure.Can we stay on topic regarding updated new information as to which demographic is prioritised with the intended C19 vaccination program.
Are any of the vaccine results showing data resulted to D T1 or T2?
I agree had the same thought myself.I reckon there's a huge pool of unused talent out here. 'Calling all diabetics on insulin to take on the role of vaccinator!'
Totally agree.I'd like to know that those in more risky jobs are at least being well considered when they're deciding the order of priority though.
Totally agree.
So we are number 6 in the list mostly although some will be number 4. Will be a while yet then
I'd class myself as being in group 8 thankfully..So we are number 6 in the list mostly although some will be number 4. Will be a while yet then
I've just read that people with weakened immune systems cannot have the vaccine. Does this rule out all type 1 diabetics? I can't believe it. This was one little sentence in a BBC article just now.Does anyone know where Diabetics will feature in the priorities ? Is any type of D considered a health issue ?
Who is making representation on behalf of Ds in the policy definition ?
