Unpaid Carers... booster?

6 replies

Artie30 · 20/10/2021 17:26

Has anyone been invited for a booster after getting their first jab in group 6 as unpaid carer?

Not sure if I should have heard something. I'm only 30, I'm not too fussed about having it. I had Az before...

I'm both a carer for my son who is disabled and also help with my grandma. It receive Carers allowance for caring for my son!

I'm registered as a carer with my gp!

Like I said, I'm not too fussed either way!

I've had my booster but I'm not sure if I was invited because I qualify as an unpaid carer or over 50. It has to be 6 months after your second dose though - do you know when that was?

I received the invite via text 6 months and 2 days after my second dose.

Not yet but I hot my second jab on 25th April. So hoping to get called soon.
I also belong in the over 50s as well though.

I think currently its only thise who live with people with autoimmune conditions?

Carers were a similar time to group 6 before (vulnerable but not extremely so) and they arent called yet.

At least locally. It does seem there's some variety.

Thank you. I just had a confused moment. Realised it's not even been 6 months anyway. second dose was May!

Makes sense!

I was wondering this too.

My case is slightly more complicated because I have now lost unpaid carer status due to getting a job (although I still care for DS). Also, I currently have Covid, so don't know if that changes the need/eligibility for a booster?
