For those who might not have seen recent news, people with learning difficulties have been re-prioritised for the covid vaccine and are now in group 6, eligible for immediate vaccination. Individuals should be on their GP's learning disability register to qualify, and if they aren't on the register they should speak with their GP or talk to someone trusted.
