Vaccination, what age groups now?

Just wondered what age group we were up to? Does anyone know?

I know of a porn actress in her 20's who has had her first and was flashing it all over social media.

Pretty sure she doesn't have any health problems but don't hold me on that one.

Also my brother who is only a couple of years older than myself so mid 40's has had his first shot.

I have started to think it could now becoming a bit of a postcode lottery. He has a more desirable postcode per say, than ourselves in the city.

It's also a Conservative led area where as we are Labour.

I just find it strange that he had his the same week as my 72 year old father in law, who lives close to us and only a couple of weeks after our parents. Both also in the 65-75 age bracket.

And no he doesn't have any underlying health issues, he's probably healthier than me to be fair.

Using the government Checker we're not due until June for our first and then August for the second.

Just really confused how this is been managed if at all, pretty much like the whole pandemic situation.

Does anyone else know of similar instances at all?

Correct-a-mundo. Over 65s and 16-64 with underlying health conditions. And unpaid carers too (all ages).

The OP would have no idea if the porn actress lady had any health conditions or not, maybe she's an unpaid carer, has diabetes or some other "invisible" condition

Everywhere is doing that category but only if you have one of the underlining conditions listed that puts you in group 6.

It's not everybody in my age group only certain people.

I think it depends how well the area is doing.

Plus, you have no idea if someone had underlying health issues that mean they are group 6.

They will have something that puts them in group 6 otherwise if there under 50 they would not have had the call.

It could be to do with their job or all sorts for reasons but no area is just giving it to everybody at the moment.

They don’t have jobs they are in college and university so it’s obviously due to that, but everyone will be vaccinated by June as the hospital I work at are putting up more dates for vaccinations

They will have something almost certainly that puts them in group 6 because otherwise them being so young wouldn't have had it and also it isn't being given to anybody under the age of 18 unless By have an underline condition then they can have it at 16 because it hasn't been licence for anybody under 18.

I would be very surprised if they have just had a phone call out with the blue unless they were somehow on the reserve list.

The phone call did just come out of the blue ! They had it with their dad all in the same day as I got vaccinated at work due to being a nurse ! Well I’m just happy that they have had the vaccine

Lorna you’re correct.

None of those children will be called to get the vaccine *except* there is something on their medical record which puts them in group 6.

They will not even be on a reserve list at that age.

Why has London managed to add an extra criterion? There's no such thing up here about having been hospitalised in the last 18 months at all.

Yes if it's for your job or if you fall into category 6.

Anybody who doesn't fall into those 2 categories under the age of 18 is exceptionally unlikely for the foreseeable to be offered the vaccine. It isn't routinely being offered to anybody under 60 or not in category 6 at the moment.

The only change I have seen is anybody who has Asthma that has ever had a hospitalisation is now considered to be in category 6 but I didn't know about anybody that had been admitted to hospital for any reason in the last 18 months.

Myself and quite a few friends have got the letter for next week, we are mid 40s to 50, no health issues. We are in a low populated area in Scotland so flying thru them I guess

No idea it’s an invitation text that went out from the health trust and a lot questioned it thinking it was a scam but it isn’t.

Do you think it could be to do with the low up take in certain boroughs?

Thats good. From reading peoples posts on this thread and others over the last few weeks it does seem to depend on where you live.

From NHS England on the rollout (from Monday 1st March). No mention of the hospitalisation criterion, which I'm surprised by, because it'd cover millions of extra people earlier on.

Nine out of 10 people aged 65 and over have now had their first COVID vaccine, as invites to those aged 60 to 63 begin landing on doormats.

The NHS vaccination programme has jabbed more than more than 17 million people in a matter of weeks, including four in five people aged 65 to 69.

People aged 64 were invited to have a life-saving jab last week and 1.9 million letters have started arriving at the homes of those aged 60 to 63 today (Monday 1 March) explaining how they can arrange a vaccination through the national booking service.

Those most at risk are being vaccinated first in line with guidance from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation.

Thanks to #OurNHSPeople for delivering the biggest vaccination programme in NHS history

I didn't say anybody under 18 couldn't have it it, I said it is only being offered to anyone 16 to 18 if they are in group 6 I didn't realise until I looked it also covered people who work for the nhs who are 16 to 18.

I'm just going by what it says on the government and nhs websites.

It does as each area will have a different age split demographic. Interestingly for London the health care workers uptake is only 78% compared to the rest of the country who are on average 93% uptake.

Central

It is a postcode lottery, in some respects, as supplies haven't been fully smooth and equal in all places, similar to recipient needs. The national plan ties it all together. There have been occasional errors, with people selected too early.
