Vaccine for those with mental illnesses

[cinammonbuns]

Anybody else get a link to book vaccine when only health risk is mental illness. I didn’t think my depression would be labelled as sever however I have used many treatments and medications so perhaps that’s the reason.

If you are Group 6 then you usually have to be contacted by your GP. You can't book on the national booking website.

A lot of us have received new shielding emails/invitations to book vaccinated based on a new algorithm. I think it probably does take into account mental health based on the posters that have received letters.

Yep, but for 17 yo DD. Can't book through national booking system, pharmacy hub can only vaccinate over-18s, and GPs say they know nothing about it (think these latest tranche of patients have been identified by some other section of NHS?).

So we can't book her in anywhere for the vaccine. Like some new vicious cycle of frustration.
