Has anyone asked their GP which group they're in for the vaccine?

    @Cress very good not long to wait now. My husband had his jab yesterday we were in there about 10 mins and you don't have to sit around for 15 mins afterwards  .

    Not sure about mine. I thought I was in group 6 because I have ME which is a neurological condition or so I thought but according to the me association it is not included in the conditions  listed in group 6. The association are trying to get it included in the group. Guess I will just have to wait and see what happens.

    It must be frustrating, however you need to bear in mind it is also a balancing act for the government too, they cant possibly list every condition under group 6, otherwise that would defeat the object of having a priority order. 

    However it must be observed that clinical judgement can also be used and if you feel you are at greater risk and that you should be vaccinated sooner, you are advised to speak with your GP.

    @MarkN88 I know I should be in number 4 group without a doubt . I know my friends have just had their vaccine done on Friday but she is 55 just had a stent but her husband works on demolition and he's 52 no health problems so how come that couple can have it. it just makes me wonder.

    @deb74 see what we people think and what Dr's think  then you have a programme to follow but too many people falling through the gaps  ask your gp I you can   I know how you feel  ( let down).

    @woodbine thank you but it didn't work for me.
    @MarkN88 a quick update my husband tried for 4 hours to speak to a gp and was told there's no doctors in the building but he can have a call back on Friday. But when I wet to hospital yesterday I was told I suffer from peripheral artery disease (gp never told me) and stage 3 copd.  On top of other things I have.i am waiting again for my results but it doesn't look good. As for the vaccine all I can do is wait..

    @woodbine no dought they are, only when they priorities people and do  it properly     52 male works no underlying health conditions is that what you call prioritising? But thats  just my opion

    Unfortunately one individual is never going to change the order they vaccinate. You’ll need to be patient.

    @woodbine I am usually quite patient the 2 x 52yr 1 is a driving instructor  other 1is in demolition  both friends of ours their gp phoned his wife at 8.30 friday morning for their vaccine appointment at 7.20. So it wasn't a leftover vaccine either  just makes me wonder is all
