HSP is a Neurological Condition. If you are in the UK, have HSP, and have not had your first Coronavirus vaccine, you can now book this yourself online or through 119.
The UK has got to Group 6 – adults with underlying conditions which put them at higher risk of serious disease. The underlying condition list includes neurological conditions.
22 Charities have written an open letter encouraging people to get their vaccination:

Group 6 also includes those who are carers, so people who care for those with HSP can also get the vaccination.

Can you advise which Covid vaccine you recommend for someone who has had HSP as a young adult

Hi, we have no specific information on differences between the vaccines for people with HSP. We suggest talking to your doctor about any concerns you have.
