With the historic news that the first COVID-19 vaccination has taken place in the United Kingdom today, with 90-year-old Margaret the first person to receive the vaccine, we thought it would be a good time to share the priority list with you once again.
The priority list for the first phase is as follows:
- Residents in a care home for older adults and their carers
- All those aged 80 and over. Frontline health and social care workers
- All those aged 75 and over
- All those aged 70 and over. Clinically extremely vulnerable individuals
- All those aged 65 and over
- All individuals aged 16-64 with underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk of serious disease and mortality
- All those aged 60 and over
- All those aged 55 and over
- All those aged 50 and over
