Does long Covid make you eligible for the booster?

I've been invited for the winter booster and trying to work out why ( aware I could just ask the GP but they never answer the phone) and if I actually need it. I do have ASD and previously had asthma ( but not at all recently), but not been in priority groups before?

It's possible ASD is the reason. I'm also a carer, but from the wording of the text (that I should get my support to book for me) I was originally put in group 6 because of my ASD and the way they were defining it as a learning disability.

Asd gets you on the list, any learning disability, mental health issues requiring meds or being in a household with any of the above. I'm the only one in my household not on anti depressants and ironically I called first for the booster! (I figure alphabetical order)

Sorry, I've nothing to add except I thought the title of this thread was 'Does long covid make you inedible...?'
Glad that was a mistake.

Ps; in all seriousness, I'm sorry if you had long covid and hope you're feeling OK now.
