Glad there’s no side effects for you. I’ve been wondering how you got it so early? I’m very much like you in terms of numbers and conditions only 10 years older. And as far as I know I am WAY down the list for a vaccine. My GP did not know if ET qualifies as “underlying condition” Does anyone know how we are supposed to be classified? Me: ET, jak2, 600+ count a few months ago 75 mg aspirin daily, no other symptoms really. Would love to know how others are getting on with the vaccines.

Hello, we are classified as no 4 on the list because MPN’s are classed as blood cancer. Maz popped something up a week or so ago confirming this. I’m not sure all parts of the country are adhering to this guidance but I’m 44 and had my vaccine in Cardiff yesterday and have a date in April for my second jab.

Thank you! I’ve been wondering about that and not been able to find any clarification. I’ll get on to my GP and see if they know when I can have mine. Feel a bit better now.

If your doctor argues that your condition isn’t cancer then kindly remind them that MPN was classified as a cancer by the WHO in 2008. There are so many doctors who won’t acknowledge it. Good luck.

Your GP should be able to see on your notes as I got confirmation that I was in group 4 but no appointment so far

[Nettan in reply to Belgobrit72]

I think I’ll have to do what they say not to and ask. I guess it’s the GP that decides which of the patients should go where?

[Nettan]

Thank you again! I’m still quite new to all this. Think I’ve been scared to actually look into it properly..
