COVID-19

August 202?

 

suppose it depends what he means by not circulating. Surely he can not mean it has been totally eradicated

 

Maybe the comment could be like flu you can never eradicate it but getting jabs ETC will allow people to go about their everyday life as near normal as possible.

 

That’s what I mean. Flu is circulating in the population which is why we have jabs

 

Yep, but the jabs are needed because the virus is in circulation. If it isn’t then jabs shouldn’t even be needed

 

It will be interesting to see how they go about the booster jabs for Covid this winter, will it be over 75 with underlying medical conditions who get them first as I believe only people over a certain age get flu jabs.

 

To be honest I was questioning it if after getting both jabs another covid jab with the flu jab in winter might be to much for an individuals body to take.

 

Thought they were talking about boosters for all over 50's THIS autumn......

 

the most recent thing is top 4 groups, so over 70, nhs staff, care home residents and staff and CEV

 

free flu jabs are usually available for certain medical conditions and over 65. This year just gone they included over 50s later on

 

a lot of those between 50-65 paid for theirs early on before the new age started for free ones

 

yep. Over 50s could get flu free late in the season. I was saying a lot of 50-64 paid for their flu shot at the start ie October/November

 

Yes we usually go late September early October to the local pharmacy but he told us they were having trouble with supplies so we rang around a few other pharmacies and got in at Rowlands Pharmacy Buttershaw Lane.

 

Looks like Boris is to announce the next loosening of restrictions from next Monday at a press conference today. GMB had the bed wetters on this morning to spread fear over hugging a family member.

I will be going to the pub, next Monday lunchtime with the other half. It really has been a while.
