You are eligible for a free COVID-19 vaccination because of an underlying health condition.
Bit out the loop here as haven't been following along, but is the assumption that if you don't have an underlying condition you're expected to pay? Not worried, just curious.

I would be very very surprised if I'm asked to pay. Booked in for Thurs, will bring the text and also check I'm meant to be there, expect they have their reasons though.

Everyone gets the vaccine for free. The "underlying health condition" refers to being eligible to book now.

In the UK you can't buy a Covid vaccine at all. No queue jumping by going private. Yet.

I think it's just wording to improve uptake; otherwise you might get people not going for it because they'd be worried they might have to pay a prescription charge etc.
I got the text over the weekend (underlying health condition I guess?), and booked myself in for Friday, so if I have a reaction at least I've got the weekend to get over it.

I just received an NHS text message inviting me to book for vaccine.
As far as I know I don't have any underlying health conditions... I'm early 40s, not overweight. I just book it anyway, right?
