Diabetes other than type 2 is not prioritized but people with type 1 diabetes or other types may be able to get a vaccine under the following clauses:
- The individual is likely to develop severe life-threatening illness or death from COVID-19 infection
- Acquiring COVID-19 will limit the individual's ability to receive ongoing care or services vital to their well-being and survival
- Providing adequate and timely COVID care will be particularly challenging as a result of the individual's disability
