I am Cancer free though I had Total Hysterectomy done several years ago and I am not able to take HRT owing to other Female Cancer risk, making me Estrogen deficient because of no ovaries and only small Adrenal gland production. I am under 50 & I'd like to know if I should be in the At Risk group because I think that I have immunity issues because of this. I have had pretty much no guidance from anybody with regarding this and neither have I found anything online, mainly because people of my age group are generally able to have HRT unless for similar reasons that I can't, when they've had a Hysterectomy and/or Ovary removal.

    The vulnerable patients in the UK received a text or letter at the beginning of the week. There is a specific group that are not allowed to leave their homes at all in the UK, what you have doesn't fall under any of those categories. Although people are advised only to leave their homes if necessary and if you feel worried about coming in contact with people, see if someone you know can do shopping for you and leave it on your doorstep.
