Morning everyone. Would I be on the list I have asthma I also have constant chest infections which at the moment I have one I'm also anemic and lacking in folic acid. I. Just not sure what to do. I am offered a flu jag every year. Thanks for any reply in advance. Stay safe guys. X

I think there is more clarification expected today. At the very least you should be distancing yourself from others. I think the advice recommends that those with asthma and other lung conditions should be stringent about social distancing. Those who have a more severe risk will be contacted by their GP starting next week. They will be provided with more personal guidance.

A lot of people with asthma are self isolating, me included. If at all possible I would advise you do the same. Just in case.😊

If not had flu jab pop into boots they do them. Free. Take care

Someone said yesterday I think, either here or on the radio, that if you are told you need the flu vaccine you are vulnerable and should automatically be isolating - at the least social distancing.

Yes I saw that generally speaking those offered flu jabs are considered vulnerable. x
