What are they defining as moderate?
My son and his girlfriend (both 21) were both called with the 16 - 65 and at risk.
He does use a steroid pump when required (seasonally) and she only uses the normal blue inhaler. Neither have ever needed hospital treatment, although when my son was a toddler we did have to use his pump and spacer as a nebuliser, but that was only once, and around 17yrs ago.
He didn't leap to having it done and when the Dr's chased him, they made it very clear to him that he needed to get his jab because he was asthmatic
Was any hospitalisation, and certain medicines and/or repeated use of steroid tablets (not inhalers) within a 3 month period.
Entire role out was a mess with some GPs ignoring JCVI and offering all asthmatics on the flu list whilst others not. I’m on more medication than your son and my GP refused to prioritise me because I didn’t meet the criteria.
Being said that “everyone on the flu list” will get a covid vaccine booster now instead
