I have not heard that it does give any priority maybe speak to your gp I will also tag in @Richard_Scope who may know something
People living with CP and respiratory or swallowing (dysphagia) may be given the vaccine slightly earlier. I would advise that you discuss your individual circumstances with your G.P. or Practice Nurse.
