“Health conditions” in my area included obesity and fatty liver. Plenty under-50s fit that bill and hence got the jab.

I believe in my borough that 60-70% figure is actually closer to 70-80% by now. Unfortunately Greater Manchester is really a very large system, and a lot of other boroughs have not been as efficient.

No need for scare quotes; obesity and cirrhosis of the liver are real health conditions and can make you more likely to be severely ill from a COVID-19 infection.
