Hi I heard today that the best way to identify as at risk group is whether or not you get invited to have flu jab from your doctor. Whether or not you have the jab is here nor there. The vulnerable are invited for flu jab and some also the pneumonia jab. Hope this helps. 🤗

Hi yes I do get asked to go for flu jab

Then that puts you in the vulnerable group according to the minister today.

Take care 🤗x

Hiya, fibromyalgia has autoimmune characteristics so yes another reason why we are at risk. Stay at home and stay safe!

What, I've not been invited for a flu jab but that's cuz I only got told 2 weeks ago that's its fibromyalgia I'm 40

I didn't think fibromyalgia means we are at risk

Anyone with a low immune system is high risk, while not every medical professional or researcher agrees that Fibromyalgia is a full on auto immune disease, there are links between them and symptoms that increase chances of contracting diseases and restricting recovery
