Please take a look at this post healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...
and the Thyroid UK position statement here thyroiduk.org/about-thyroid...
and also, our ongoing poll where people on this forum are reporting their experience of having the vaccine healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

The official government list of underlying health conditions which gives people priority over their age group is as follows:
chronic respiratory disease, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis and severe asthma
chronic heart disease (and vascular disease)
chronic kidney disease
chronic liver disease
chronic neurological disease including epilepsy
Down’s syndrome
severe and profound learning disability
diabetes
solid organ, bone marrow and stem cell transplant recipients
people with specific cancers
immunosuppression due to disease or treatment
asplenia and splenic dysfunction
morbid obesity
severe mental illness
It is personal choice as to whether someone accepts the vaccine or not and checking out the links RedApple has posted may be helpful for you.
If you use the patient access app and have one of the conditions when you next login it will tell you that your record has been looked at.

Thank you Scrumbler. Do you have a link for that information please?
There’s no priority, I’m having mine tomorrow and I’m looking forward to it ! It’s recommended to have it in most people , it’s rare not to be recommended!
