Important Covid Risk and Vaccine Updates

An additional 1.7 million people in England have been added to the ‘clinically extremely vulnerable’ list for COVID-19 based on a new risk calculator called QCovid. QCovid is based on a combination of factors which include ethnicity, housing, obesity and specific health conditions.

If you have been told that you are in this group it means that you are on the Shielding List and so you are in priority group 4 for COVID vaccination. 

You are also eligible for additional support - see the Shielding Support Website: www.gov.uk/coronavirus-shielding-support.  You can find your local council’s details at https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus-local-help.

We will publish more up-to-date information as it is released.
