    I appear to be in the German equivalent of group 6. To my surprise recently I received a letter with vouchers for 12 free masks, the letter was from the German government saying they had been informed by my health insurance company that I'm at risk and therefore entitled to free masks. I didn't apply for them, and the only thing I've been to the doctor for in the last 7 years was to get my ME diagnosis 6 years ago, I've been hiding and not interacting with the health system since.

    I'm wondering whether this means I'll be bumped up the queue for the jab.

    well, it seems ME is listed here

    https://www.england.nhs.uk/ourwork/...ur-work-on-long-term-conditions/neurological/
    curious that it just says ME, not myalgic encephalomyelitis, or chronic fatigue syndrome CFS/ME etc.
    as a lot of NHS healthcare professionals don't know what ME is.

    It certainly would not come up on any search.
