[Diabetes-Talk] Diabetes and vaccine eligibility.

[Eileen Scrivani]

I’m pretty sure that when I registered for the vaccine, I was able to check off diabetic, but now I forget if it asked about type 1 or type 2. In any case, I am under the age of 65, yet I have already received both the first & second vaccination shots of the Phisor vaccine. I was sick after both dosages, but I’d rather be ill from the vaccination than from Covid.

Good luck to all in getting any one of the 3 vaccines!

Hi everyone.
I was prowling around on a site for getting vaccine appointments and there
was an area where people could list underlying health conditions that would
put them on a more prioritized list. Did you know that Type 2 diabetes is
considered a vulnerable condition but type 1 is not? I have heard that there
is a petition on change.org but I don't know how one finds such things.
Just wondering if the rest of you had run across this. Hopefully I'm getting
my second dose on Tuesday. Crossing my fingers that they don't cancel any
more appointments this week.
