COVID spring booster

Not had an invitation for the spring Covid booster and I didn't last year. My wife (non diabetes but over 70) had an invitation for the pneumonia injection. I had it a few years ago. We also took advantage of the shingles vaccination. Had the first injection a couple of months ago. Now waiting for the second injection. Sore arm for both of us after the shingles vaccination.

I haven’t had an invite, and when I think about it I didn’t last spring either, but I was classed as extremely vulnerable during the pandemic as I don’t have a spleen. I’ve either slipped through the net or I’ve been downgraded! I’m not bothered, I may mention it at my blood letting appointment next month.

Not everyone that was extremely vulnerable qualifies this time. Worth checking if you think you should though.

I’d rather not be classed as extremely vulnerable TBF, I definitely don’t feel it and was cross during the pandemic that I had to shield, I lasted four week and downgraded myself to “just” vulnerable, so I won’t be pushing it!
