Access to vaccinations was available to those living with the condition. Since autumn 2025 most people with Type 1 Diabetes have no longer been eligible for routine NHS COVID-19 vaccination unless they also meet other criteria","additional_details":"COVID vaccinations are now only available to over 75s, residents of older-adult care homes, or people with compromised immune systems.\r\n \r\nI've struggled through the last two weeks with COVID and Type 1 Diabetes, and I'm not out of the woods yet. My previous experience of COVID was when I was vaccinated and that was a walk in the park compared with how absolutely dreadful and debilitating it has felt this time around.\r\n \r\nVaccination is a personal choice, but we think people with Type 1 Diabetes should have the option to protect themselves against serious illness.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":15,"closing_date":"2027-04-28","created_at":"2026-10-08T22:12:01.148Z","updated_at":"2026-10-29T12:19:10.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-10-28T13:38:21.868Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-10-09T13:34:00.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Emma Hartley","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DHSC","name":"Department of Health and Social Care","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-of-health-and-social-care"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"Spain","code":"ES","signature_count":1},{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":14}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Bassetlaw","ons_code":"E14001079","mp":"Jo White MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Derby South","ons_code":"E14001194","mp":"Baggy Shanker MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Harborough, Oadby and Wigston","ons_code":"E14001266","mp":"Neil O'Brien MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Northampton North","ons_code":"E14001406","mp":"Rt Hon Lucy Rigby KC MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Northampton South","ons_code":"E14001407","mp":"Mike Reader MP","signature_count":5},{"name":"Wellingborough and Rushden","ons_code":"E14001571","mp":"Gen Kitchen MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Dumfries and Galloway","ons_code":"S14000073","mp":"John Cooper MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bangor Aberconwy","ons_code":"W07000083","mp":"Claire Hughes MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ynys Môn","ons_code":"W07000112","mp":"Llinos Medi MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":11},{"name":"Wales","ons_code":"L","signature_count":2},{"name":"Scotland","ons_code":"M","signature_count":1}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
