Has anyone heard about vaccinations for people in your household?

I was really pleased to hear from Blood Cancer UK that they were urging government to include partners of CLL patients in the same tier of vaccine roll out. They suggested that government was working on it. I have heard nothing since.

If I get my vaccination as a #vulnerablegroupie by mid February as promised, my wife who is in a much lower age group won't be getting hers until late May/June.

Without her being placed in same tier as me it means our quarantine/isolation/shielding won't end either. My son too has been forced to leave home and find alternative accommodation.

Has anyone heard any more about the original proposal? Any chance of it happening?

You're right about partners Harvist but I can't see the government agreeing to it to be honest. :(Jackie

Hi Harvist I agree with Jackie cannot see the government doing this but at least you will hopefully have some level of protection
