Lupus is on the list of conditions that merit a vaccine for the under 65 crowd, since it is an autoimmune disease with immune compromising medications.
It's actually a pretty long list. Being overweight (BMI over 25), having ADHD, depression, being sedentary, being a current or former smoker, having substance misuse disorders, along with all the other ones you'd expect, like asthma, cancer, heart disease, transplant recipients, and anyone who needs a careworker.
As of now, you can self certify as being in one of these groups (you don't need a doctor's note). And your doctor can still recommend it for you if you're not on the list, as long as you don't have an anti vaxxer doc.

Oh awesome. Hopefully they don't ban vaccines for that list. Last time I had a simple cold I was almost hospitalized...
