COVID vaccine and asthma: why most sufferers won t be prioritised in the next phase of rollout

Over 16 million people in the UK have received at least one dose of a COVID vaccine. The government is now expanding the vaccine rollout to more people, including those who are “clinically vulnerable”. But millions of people with asthma will not be in this priority group, which may sound surprising, given that asthma is a respiratory disease. Certainly, in the early days of the pandemic, asthmatics were considered to be an extremely vulnerable group and were told to shield. Yet, as we have learned more about COVID and the people it affects, it appears that people with asthma are not at higher risk of severe illness or death from COVID.
