Could someone please advise if my husband will be classed as CEV? He is 52 and Type 2 diabetic, also S Asian. We have only recently moved to the UK so been having some problems with registering him as diabetic as they need records from previous doctor. As far as I know, he would be only CV, right? So we should wait.
I said on the other thread that I am just so incredibly impressed by the rate of vaccinations. It is amazing. So veyr grateful for the NHS and vaccine scientists.
Is he registered with a GP?
Being in 50s he obviously will be in group 9 anyway. However you need to get your GP on board to chase things up for the CEV group. If he is under that category.
Here is the list of underlying health conditions. These people are in group 4 or 6
