And a lot even younger than that. One 30 year old around here (on a local forum) was surprised at being invited, called her GP practice (who had sent the invite) and was told it was because she had one of the health conditions that constituted getting the jab early. In her case it was asthma that she had suffered as a child, but had long since cleared up, but it was on her medical records and that's all it took to flag her for an early vaccine.
I guess a lot of the work for identifying these new cohorts is being by computer trawling the medical records, hence the story of the 6cm high bloke from Liverpool above being called because of his miscalculated BMI.
Yes of course, on receiving a vaccine invitation you should absolutely immediately interrogate the people inviting you who definitely have nothing better to do. FFS
Never let perfect be the enemy of good in a pandemic.
