My now17 and 1/2 year old son was vaccinated in the group 6 priority as he has Aspergers etc and his second jab was 13/06/21 . Booked his booster online no problem but was refused when he was in the chair as they said only over 18’s can get it unless they have a letter from their dr . Rang drs , they said no they can’t do anything. Really beginning to worry now as it’s over 6 months so obviously his protection would have started to wane . He is also now being treated for psychosis n possible schizophrenia and is a Carer fir me with his two other elder brothers as I have transverse myelitis which comes under the MS umbrella. I’m just going round in circles as the vaccination centre computers just keep saying no he’s not eligible and the dr saying the same from the checklist on their computer. Has anyone had the same problem? c
