Hi there. I think the guidance changed again right at the end of Oct, and I definitely received a letter at start of Nov. But I'm in Kent and I dont know if it was different for areas with different risks. Pretty sure that was national guidance though.

Hello @CChester I'm afraid I don't have the dates either (I only had a letter at the beginning) I wonder if the NHS guidance re shielding can help your employer (coupled with the letter/evidence you have) www.nhs.uk/...higher-risk/shielding-note-check/
