Are they high risk?

One of my loved ones only has one lung due to a persistent infection in childhood. They are now early 50s and living quite normally with one lung for the past 30 years. No letter or text has been received yet classifying them as 'high risk' of developing complications and the government list does not specifically include their 'condition'. However, the list may not be exhaustive as a colleague was told by their GP that they are high risk due to a previous stroke and I cannot find this on the list either. Would you check with GP if no advice has been received by end of the week?

I would think that they are. Get them to contact their GP for advice.

Thanks. I think we will. Just wondered if anyone else is not too clear on the list parameters or even in the same boat - i.e. one lung but healthy and not receiving treatment.
