Vaccine priority for unpaid carers

I didn't know this so I'm guessing others may not either.

 

Unpaid carers under the age of 65 will be prioritised in Group 6 for the COVID-19 vaccine. Carers aged 65 and above will be able to access the vaccine earlier under the initial groupings.

 

All I did was ring my GP and ask for my husband to be flagged as my unpaid carer.

Here's the link to the article.

Thanks Pamela for this link. That’s really helpful.

Just wish our Surgery was up to date!!

During a GP phone call yesterday we asked the GP about me (i’m in Group 8 but with lockdown it will also be difficult to go separately) and she said no I’d have to wait so I’ll be back on the phone to them today!!

Thanks
