The JCVI guidance is clear on carers for people in the underlying conditions group in that they should be getting vaccines at the same time that the people they care for are vaccinated. They are now considered in priority group 6 if they are between the ages of 16 and 64. I am 68 so in priority group 5.
The guidance is silent for unpaid carers of people in the clinically vulnerable group, such as my wife, who are in priority group 4. My own GP surgery has refused to elevate my priority status so that I can have the vaccine at the same time as my wife.
I know of friends who have been accepted in higher priority groups in other areas.
Is anyone having a similar issue?
