What's your being vaccinated priority?

[Sprocket.]

I’m a 4, Mrs S. is a 9.

8 , will I get it by the summer?

9

mum-tat is 2 (80+) and worrying about where she might have to travel to for it (kings is 3 buses from where she is)

Spain:

¿Cuáles son los 15 grupos de población prioritarios?

• Personal sanitario y sociosanitario. Health workers
• Personas residentes en centros de mayores. Old people's home residents
• Población general mayor de 64 años. People over 64
• Personas con gran discapacidad. Severely disabled people
• Personas con condiciones de riesgo. People with risky health conditions
• Personas que viven o trabajan en comunidades o entornos cerrados. People living or working in closed communities
• Personas pertenecientes a poblaciones vulnerables por su situación socioeconómica. People who are vulnerable due to their socio-economic situation
• Personas con trabajos esenciales. Key workers
• Personal docente. Educators
• Población infantil. Children
• Población adolescente y joven (mayores de 16 años). Teenagers and youth
• Población adulta. Adults
• Población de áreas de incidencia y situaciones de brotes. People in outbreak areas
• Embarazadas y madres que proporcionan lactancia natural. Pregnant and breast-feeding mothers
• Población seropositiva a SARS-CoV-2. Seropositive people

Seems a bit more nuanced. On this I'm in the 3rd group.

Yeah, my mum is a 2 (just), but thankfully healthy and active. She's volunteered to help with the vaccination programme at her doctors' surgery. Stuff like pointing the temperature gun at people when they come in. I mean, good for her, but at the same time

My Dad is a 1 as in a care home. He’s already had COVID-19 at age 93 with no noticeable symptoms.
He’s offered to sell his place at the head of the queue. But will be very happy to have vaccine.
Me and partner are 7s.

 

[MickiQ]

I'm a 7 and Mrs Q is an 8
Mine and her parents (all in 80's) are 2's, Son Q's Girlfriend and Middle Q are also 2's since despite being healthy young twenty something adults are both nurses, Middle Q has had it though so will she still get vaccinated?
Everyone else in the Q Family is a 10.

 

[weepiper]

I'm a 10 along with most people I know. My dad is a 3. Mr W is a 6.

 

[Voley]

I'm a 6 due to diabetes, although its in remission so I don't know if that means I go to the back if the queue. I doubt it.

Surprised you've got to have severe asthma to be higher up the list - I would've thought any asthma would've been enough to give you a higher risk of dying.

 

[Mation]

8 , will I get it by the summer?

Highly unlikely. There are a lot of people to get through.

I'm a 10.

6, unless they discover that any of the vaccines also prevent transmission, at which point teachers might get a bump up the list.

Do you mean aside from herd immunity? Is there a suggestion that any might?

Otherwise you wouldn't see the spread being prevented until you got well into the bottom of the list. But I do think classroom teachers should get a bump up.

 

[gentlegreen]

6 because they still have me erroneously down as "diabetic", in reality, 7.

 

[scifisam]

4 because I get those letters telling me I'm clinically extremely vulnerable. Not sure if it will make a difference that I've already tested positive for covid, though.

 

[Raheem]

The priority list will have changed before any of us get it, won't it?

 

[Aladdin]

I'm a bit confused by
4.all those 70 years of age and over and clinically extremely vulnerable individuals.

Does that mean 70 and over who also are extremely vulnerable or does it mean anyone who is extremely vulnerable of any age?

 

[andysays]

4.all those 70 years of age and over and clinically extremely vulnerable individuals.

Does that mean 70 and over who also are extremely vulnerable or does it mean anyone who is extremely vulnerable of any age?

It means the latter; they've effectively combined two categories: "anyone 70 and over" and "anyone who is extremely vulnerable, whatever their age"

I'm in group 8.

 

[William of Walworth]

The priority list will have changed before any of us get it, won't it?

I can see that happening any time in terms of tweaks to the details, but as I posted earlier up (and offering bets!) I'm more optimistic about the timescale than most people on here, it seems.

 

[5t3IIa]

I am 10. I think I used to be 6 before I lost weight. I did qualify for a free flu jab a few years ago

According to the priority information on the .gov site here 6 includes ‘morbid obesity’. However the NHS doesn’t define any obesity as ‘morbid’ (here), and says that BMI is not used to diagnose obesity, rather waist size. Not sure how .gov is defining morbid obesity, as it doesn’t seem immediately clear.

 

[SpookyFrank]

10, unless they decide to put teachers on the list.

I'm not supposed to have certain vaccines though, no clue whether the covid one would be among them.

 

[Callie]

I'm either a 2 or 12. Not exactly frontline depending on your definition. I suspect there will be a tier system within the healthcare workers and frontline patient facing will be at the top.

 

[BigTom]

People living or working in closed communities

What does this mean?

 

[platinumsage]

What does this mean?

Oil rigs, submarines etc

 

[LDC]

2. Frontline healthcare. Local Trust been given a number of doses and then are having to decide among staff who gets them, so clinically vulnerable staff to enable them to come back to work, and ward staff first seems to be happening as first priority. Edie what have you heard in LTHT?

 

[chilango]

10. If the vaccination program works , it'll probably stop before it gets round to being my turn.

Similar x

 

[Plumdaff]

Back of the queue of 2. We're front line, seeing patients, but quite rightly that they will do the wards etc before community mental health as we don't do invasive procedures, we're able to socially distance and often work remotely. Otherwise 6.

 

[girasol]

So, if you already had a positive covid test, will they still offer you the vaccine? I'm guessing that would put you at the end of the queue and maybe get offered vaccine next Winter - assuming it'll be like the flu and there are yearly vaccinations...

I'm no. 10 but moving up to 9 next summer

Can't help but feel a little optimistic today. Happy V day!

 

[JuanTwoThree]

What does this mean?

I take it to mean monasteries, nunneries, prisons, communal homes etc

 

[marshall]

Just turned 60, so moved up to 7, whoop whoop!

 

[Aladdin]

I'm in group 8.

Ok.. thanks.
I'm assuming Ireland will follow a similar strategy. I fall jnto category 4 in that case.
