I think so @LivLuke2 read this:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-vaccination-why-you-are-being-asked-to-wait/why-you-have-to-wait-for-your-covid-19-vaccine

keep reading till you get to the bit about what order. You have psoriasis so I see your condition on the list along with RA and Lupus for example.

🤞

Yes thank you. Psoriatic Arthritis is in the rheumatoid family also and classed as auto immune disease so I though possible but just with the actual condition not being mentioned I wasn’t sure. Don’t really want to bother gp with question as they are all so busy.

thank you
