COVID Vaccine

Is CLL diagnose puts us ahead of the line for COVID vaccine?

Where you live will have rules about who gets it, & what order. Your local public health agency probably has a webpage with this information.

In England yes - those of us under 70 are in Cohort 4 so 'All those 70 years of age and over and clinically extremely vulnerable individuals'

We are in the extremely vulnerable category - not the 'underlying health conditions' which is Cohort 6.

Most of Cohort 4 (as well as Cohort 1,2,3 - ie older) has now been done, as they are also doing Cohort 5 (over 65).

So if you are England, contact your surgery because you should have been done

If you live elsewhere, I would contact your general doc surgery - they will know

Just to add that, in Scotland CLL patients on W&W are not automatically place in the 'clinically extremely vulnerable ' category ....

Ahhh...so right and slapdash on my part. I have edited to say 'England' not UK....I guess too much of the Scottish amber nectar addled my brain!

Actually, I have a bottle from the Welsh distillery on the go, which gives the Scottish versions a run for their money!
