Suddenly, I am at risk of increased complications of Covid!

[KatyMac]

I mean, I thought that all along but the NHS never agreed

Actually apart from just having had Covid, I'm am actually in better health and I have been in years (thanks HRT!)

I just thought it was odd they decided this now

How did you find this out? I had a text saying this but have no idea why! No one’s mentioned it at all through the pandemic.

Are they sending out letters and texts again now?

I had a txt today to tell me I'm at increased risk and gave me a link to have my booster jab which I actually had two weeks ago 🤔🤔

It’s just someone being lazy and not altering the text message. Everyone I know has had the same — they’re not vulnerable they’re just 40+ and now eligible for a booster.

I think it's just something that's been sent to everyone eligible for a booster

Text and email

I've just had covid (despite double vaccine) and I was pretty poorly- I have cfs/fm plus a few other bits

Maybe it is laziness? I'm 53

Yep - it’s just this

I got one, everyone over 40 did

That sounds a bit crazy @KatyMac. Hope you're feeling better now. How's your dd doing now, still dancing?

What have people over 40 gotten?

I’m 43 and not had anything. Nor has dh.

Good

DD is still dancing - starting to get lots of work - covid was a bit pants! and theatre is only really starting up again in the second half of this year - trying to buy a flat!

I got the text today, telling me to book my booster as they have no record of me having it yet.

I had it a month ago and it’s showing on my NHS app.

Yes I got this (also after having had my booster) and did a double take, until I realised it must be referring solely to age-based risk!

You're over fifty and got a reminder, what's the problem?

It's not looked at a individual basis just age. Don't take offence. The NHS dont even test you before the next vaccine it a standard time yet everyone will have different levels of antibodies. It would cost the NHS to much to run that and other tests pre next jab. At least you are healthy I've have a few things wrong and noone will look at my individual health against the vaccine.

Same here. Lovely way to start a text out of the blue.

Yes, I got one ... a week after I'd had my booster after booking it myself online.
