Clear heads needed please!
DH has asthma. It's mild, and really only plays up during hayfever season. He has a brown and a blue inhaler, very rarely takes the brown one (I have nagged him into doing this now) and will only use the blue if he's going for a run or if the pollen count is high or he's mowing the lawn or something. Been together 12 years, I've never known him to have a 'proper' (?) asthma attack, just be a bit wheezy in the summer. I'm not trying to be flippant or dismissive, I don't really know how else to describe it.
He, and I, would both say he has very mild, under control asthma. But he does get offered a flu vaccine every winter, though he usually doesn't take it, as he can get one through work so avoids taking a freebie from the NHS.
His work are currently dragging their feet on WFH. They want everyone in. He could, in theory, WFH but he'd need to bring his desktop PC and monitors home and work would need to sort out the techie side of that to enable remote access etc. At the moment a few people from his office who can do their work on laptops have repeatedly asked to work from home (they wouldn't need anything sorted, just permission) and the company have said no.
Does he class as 'vulnerable' because of the flu jab? Should he be pushing work to stay home? He is not really the sort to speak out and I don't know if I should be encouraging him to be putting his foot down with this. He thinks they will be forced to shutdown and send everyone home in a week or so and he can just ride it out until then.
