To book booster or not?

I’ve recieved at least 3 messages from the NHS to book my booster but to my knowledge I’m not eligible (age 42, not vulnerable etc). The only thing I can think of is having had gestational diabetes recently but that shouldn’t qualify me. Would you keep ignoring the letters or just be cheeky and book it anyway since it’s the NHS mistake? Spoke to the GP receptionist and she said to just book it if I’m on the list.

It’s not cheeky. I’ve got the same, not sure why but I will be getting a booster anyway. I didn’t ask, they invited me!

Book it but pick a convenient date and place so it doesn't matter to you too much if you get turned away.

When the first ones were rolled out I was classed as vulnerable as I had had GD. Book your booster if you want it.

Gestational diabetes does qualify you. My boss had it years ago and is still classed as vulnerable when it comes to covid.
