Unpaid Carers.. vaccine.

[usernumberno46273]

Had covid vaccine late feb/early Mach sort of time (can't remember at the top of my head) and my second around the 20th May I believe.

I was offered it early due to having a disabled Ds and being his carer. Are unpaid Carers having the booster?

I'm not really expecting to... I'm under 50, relatively healthy etc. But the nhs website says to book if it's been a certain amount of time after your first!

Confused whether that means everyone who's had it earlier if just those over 50, people with health problems and healthcare workers.

Really confused. Assuming I would get an invite from doctors anyway.

I'm not desperate to have it but I do worry it's been a long stretch since my second dose compared to other people my age. Wish I waited until my age Group. Would have had the jab closer to this long daunting winter!

I know the older you are the more at risk you are but it never made any sense to me to vaccinate the elderly in care homes whilst making the working population isolate in lock down.

Front cost benefit view much better to vaccinate the working population (like some countries did) followed by the elderly and retired

They are but, it all depends how your GP has marked your medical records.

My friend is a carer and isn't eligible for booking the vaccine today because the online system doesn't know she's a carer. She had her original two in group 6 as a carer last time.

She'll be calling her GP to check tomorrow.
