Looks like we're back to all CEV, CV and over 50s getting boosters rather than just CEV.

They are saying the plan is still to do them at the same time as flu jabs but there's no start date for the boosters and flu jabs have already started

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

TV news this morning stated that boosters would be a single shot of pfizer for all over 50s administered 6 months after their 2nd original jab....

You over 50 yet?

tbh we're late enough this time around we're probably OK for the coming year (especially if AZ are more confident) and they are saying it'll be an annual programme like flu... which I assume will allow for people pushing 50 but not quite there to pay for one, going forward from 2022!

There's some promising results from tests of a combined flu and covid booster jab. Would be handy if that proves effective.

Meanwhile, just had this email, which is selling it as travel, but ironic given the will they / won't they playing out atm...

Dear Sir/Madam,

Starting today you can apply for a Digital Passport.

The Coronavirus Digital Passport is documentation proving that you have been vaccinated against COVID-19 or you recently recovered from COVID-19.

No, i'm not over 50 besides....the flu jab is free this year to anyone who'll be 50 before 31 March 2022.....I've just booked mine at Boots as getting access to my GPs is currently harder than escaping Kabul....

That might be a scam as its been available for ages. You need the NHS app, slightly oddly not the NHS covid app, and its in there. Gives you 2 QR codes which change every couple of days. One is for domestic use and the other for travel.

Yeah I've booked Boots. Be aware that last year they cancelled me and Mrs Wisdom (who's elegible for it free) at the last minute, so keep on eye on when your GP's clinics are!

Yeah I did wonder that, but also found the timing impressive

 

[Sick Boy]

I don’t agree with either

Having spent time in the UK recently, I think it would be more or less impossible now to bring them in.
The experience of being in the UK is very different to being in Italy at the moment.

 

[David O'Day]

Winter "plan" seems very vague and lacking in details

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Are they actually re-mandating face masks, or just telling people to wear them?

If it's meet outdoors where possible, how does that tally with the hurtle back to the office?

 

[David O'Day]

Ashworth asks sensible questions so Javid can clarify the details and he waffles

 

[chiefdave]

Alert came up on my phone for the winter plan saying that plan a is personal responsibility. That’s reassuring.

 

[clint van damme]

Every "plan" seems very vague and lacking in details

Fixed

So. Less than a month after scraping vaccine passports one of the most vaccinated countries in the world

And what's happened since they reinstated the vaccine passport in Israel? You don't need to be a data analyst to see the link there.

Or look to the US. States where events require proof of vaccine and / or negative test seem to be stable, other states going through the roof. Although they seem to go vaccine passport and mask mandates or nothing so you also have to account for the use of masks. Seeing bands that are touring the US cancelling dates in States where vaccine passports aren't in use but playing where they are.

Remember when Florida was 'proof' that it was safe to remove the mask requirements? As the kids say, that hasn't aged well.

Daughter and myself loads better , my self isolation finishes Friday at midnight . I’m working from home for the rest of the week .
My wife bless her has had really bad symptoms including a rash but continues to test negative. She’s gone for an appointment to get her oxygen levels checked as shes very wheezy

Sorry for being ignorant but isn't that just literally what it is though if she keeps being tested negative,a rash?

Apparently if she has antibodies the virus can not be detected , she works as a nurse and wants to be 100% clear before she goes back to work . Hopefully it’s just a heavy cold which seems to be the case

Fingers crossed for her mate

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Spoke to track and trace yesterday and they said to expect sickness and diarrhoea after 10 days as well !

Had the shits too and felt terrible sick shivery in bed .

[David O'Day]

Seems we need to get another 5 million jabbed

It is as we need to stop any thoughts of further restrictions to peoples liberty

 

[David O'Day]

Vaccine Passports are going to make an appearance this winter, Johnson has been over stressing how much he dislikes the idea but won't remove it from the table.

 

[skybluetony176]

Except the freedom to not catch a potentially life threatening illness from a selfish moron who thinks it’s their right to do what the fuck they wants in anyway they see fit regardless of consequences to someone else.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Liberty without social responsibility = anarchy

 

[Grendel]

Liberty without social responsibility = anarchy

Dont agree - you cant force vaccines and you can’t restrict movement for ever. Now rates are declining in deaths and hospitalisation and if you take out the non vaccinated element it’s well within NHS capacity so there’s little more that now can be done

 

[Deleted member 5849]

and if you take out the non vaccinated element

With a shotgun?

 

[Deleted member 7943]

With a shotgun?

Tut tut

 

[Grendel]

With a shotgun?

But that’s the point - you set a policy in the NHS to treat socially responsible people on all levels or you don’t. Ban meat eaters from bowel cancer treatment? Or ban meat altogether?

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Tut tut

Restricting my civil liberties to shoot people randomly and cause them distress.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Or ban meat altogether?

Well we do ban certain meats, don't we.

 

[Grendel]

Restricting my civil liberties to shoot people randomly and cause them distress.

would you introduce a flu vaccine passport in tbe winter for over 60’s?
