Fortunately holding up against more severe outcomes though. A hotter virus would have more severe outcomes which isn't showing up int he figures either. So not showing up in the sequencing and not showing up in severe outcomes, where is it showing up? š¤ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place was heaving, train home I'd say 20% of the train passengers were wearing masks For balance, I'm on a busy train to Glasgow now and at least 90% wearing them.

Morrisandmoo Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) Got to say enjoyed most of the noises, re covid, from Sajid Javid on the Andrew Marr show. "We would never consider mandatory vaccines for the general population"; "vaccination should be a positive thing"; "boosters will make all the difference". That is exactly the political messaging which will maximise positive health outcomes, while minimising social costs.Ā The EU on the other hand seem to be stirring up a public disorder nightmare, with their increasingly totalitarian approach to government.Ā Edited November 21, 2021 by Morrisandmoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why was a fit healthy person getting a booster at 34? My mum is over 60 and not fit and healthy and she has to wait another 2 weeks. I guess they're a health-care worker then?

phart Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) Nope not everyone is offered the flu vaccine. got to be over 50 , have a health condition or be a carer for someone who's elderly or immune compromised. Or be a frontline health worker. I've just became eligible for my booster as well. I was in JCVI priority group 6 as well. It's 6 months (they are coutning 24 weeks as 6 months though) since 2nd jab.

To be eligible for the "free" NHS vaccine you need to meet certain criteria. Your mate must meet some extra criteria if she is being offered the NHS flu jag and she also got her 2nd COVID jag more than 24 weeks ago?
