Makes it even worse that the vaccines have waning with regards to infection. 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?

Got a booster and Flu Jab yesterday, feel absolute shit. Canā€™t see me going to Montrose tomorrow.

My mate just ended up in the hospital with abdominal pain due to the booster, a fit health 34 year old, she on morphine for the painĀ

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

Hope they recover.

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?

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.

Anyone can get the flu vaccine if you are prepared to pay for it. Your company will be picking up the tab for the jags that you have been offered. 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?

Was asking as I'm due both jags tomorrow and have a bit of a cold. Negative PCR, but have heard the the flu jab can knock seven bells out of you and I'm not too sure I fancy it feeling like this.

She wasn't going to get the booster, only the flu jab and they caught her off guard, her scans came back todays and its cysts,, they may come back and say this has nothing to do with the vaccine but it did. Ā Ā
