Was curious if anyone had an answer to this question. On the CDC site, it says Dementia and Neurological Conditions make one eligible for a Covid vaccine booster, but of course Neurological Condition can mean many things.

I didnt think myself eligible, but I received an email from the county I live in notifying me that they were available. I have no idea if that means I actually qualify for a booster or should get one. My doc has said in the past the E was a condition at higher risk for Covid, so now I am a bit confused..

I meant to say my doc had said that E was NOT a condition at higher risk for Covid. In the US, I keep getting sent this link from the CDC on medical conditions making one eligible for a booster (if under age 65). Again, it is a bit vague on "neurological conditions."

I just got my third COVID shot, along with my flu shot last week. My dr. and pharmacist BOTH suggested I get the booster because of my health issues ( I also have Diabetes).

Ask YOUR pharmacist about it.
 
I just signed up for the booster shot and it did say that neurologic conditions qualify for the covid shot and boosters now.
Wishing you only the best of luck and May God Bless You!
