I don't believe asthma is on the list for priority vaccinations any more.
That is why I am Tier 4, it depends on medication you take.It's also why getting people in for vaccinations is likely to be a bit patchy.

It has to be.
You don't go through tens of millions of medical records one by one manually, looking for whether someone has "chronic asthma" instead of "asthma". It'll be a keyword search implemented differently on umpteen backend patient record systems.
It's unlikely there will be any real coordination or standards on how the searches work or exactly what they are searching for. It'll be 80/20, get as much done as possible and mop up stragglers later.
I wish medical IT was perfect. I did some work for Siemens Medical years ago, and even then it was a bit of a s
tshow. They are doing their best with what they have, and mistakes will be made.
I agree. Many medical records will also have been transcribed from paper records adding to the complexity.You don't go through tens of millions of medical records one by one manually, looking for whether someone has "chronic asthma" instead of "asthma".

My wife got an email today about having an appointment on Sunday, she’s in her 40s, has mild asthma. It’s at 7 in the evening so I might go along as well and see if there’s any chance I can get one myself.
My experience is so far is that you'll be in a with a pretty good shout of getting one My old village (family still there, I'm now ten miles away) are in the top 5 for adult population coverage - and started quite late in getting the vax centre open.
Huge success - and from the Facebook posts, they've unilaterally made process improvements in the admin, etc. I really hope there's a forum/structure for those to be shared.
Noted the bottom five across England have some shockingly low percentages - more like mainland Europe's. Do we have any clue why? It'd be awful for there to be 'hot zones' within a country broadly moving forwards together.

Where are the local stats? My lot seem to be doing pretty well if they’re down into the 40s already. I didn’t realise there was much variation in England tbh.Huge success - and from the Facebook posts, they've unilaterally made process improvements in the admin, etc. I really hope there's a forum/structure for those to be shared.

I didn’t realise until I read this thread how old everyone on Pistonheads is.
Did you really think 20 yr olds are interested in lotus elises? Etc I think most owners were either people in their 20s who’d got a first decent job and wanted a TVR
or people who were older and getting one after their kids had left home etc. People who had kids and family tended not to be buying TVRs that much at the time as they weren’t that practical or reliable.
Now less young people are into traditional forums or cars so the membership is definitely older on average.

So we both got the AZ vaccine on the same day which was a result given she was in Group 6 due to her MS, and was further down the priority groups to me.
