Clinically extremely vulnerable and Covid?

[Laradog]

Hi there,

I haven’t posted before but I found the website a real source of support and information during my mitral valve repair with OHS in 2018. All went well but for some reason I’m listed as clinically extremely vulnerable. Since my heart is functioning well now can anyone throw light on this classification? I did have a small implant (a ring) to support the repair and I take 75 mg aspirin each day.

Many thanks in advance.

Karen

Thank you Wendy, I will. Just wondered why really.

I will say it again, can’t understand why you are not way up the list. I will never get how these things work.

Gave up with gp, I am at the hospital next Friday I will speak to them again, but they just said be careful the last time I mentioned it

I've been trying to find info on CEV and Covid but it's difficult; the gov.uk / NHS 111 online search engine isn't great. My son and I are classed as CEV as - if we catch the virus - we are more likely than most of the 'normal' population to need hospitalisation. Neither of my parents are classed as CEV, despite both having underlying conditions and turning 70. It's whether you've been class as CEV on the GP patient system.

Thank you. Will do. It just seems so random.

Thanks for your reply I am definitely going to contact them to make sure that I am in the right group, it's the over 80's that are getting there's at the moment, it will be a few weeks yet before the group I should be in starts, char
