Parents of children who are not up to date with their polio vaccine course are urged to make an appointment with their GP as soon as possible, but the UKHSA says the risk to the wider population is low

Saw this today and thought it was worth resurrecting the thread for. Some interesting, and slightly worrying, data on health outcomes following recovery from covid.

The growing evidence that Covid-19 is leaving people sicker

The potential impact on heart and brain disease poses challenges to healthcare systems globally

Fucking anti vaxxers. Get in the bin the lot of you.

Don't understand China

The whole world has proven zero covid doesn't work as a strategy

The rest of the world opened up and dealt with it and now were back with life as normal.

I guess when you can brick people into their houses and control most of the economy it’s an easier option. I wonder if there’s a cultural thing about disease or pride going on as well

It's mostly because the vaccine they've got is not as effective as any of the western ones, the west opened up with a highly-vaccinated population

That’s what I’ve read as well. I also heard that a lot of elderly Chinese prefer traditional Chinese medicine so refused the vaccine. I don’t know if that’s true or not but if so, it’s a dangerous combination.

CCFCSteve · Sep 6, 2022

Bizarre that they couldn't produce a decent vaccine…especially after creating the virus in the first place

Stuff like that, especially after seeing Russia in Ukraine not being at all a military superpower, does make you wonder white how strong some of these countries are and how much is reliant on western tech.

Anyone had their booster? Mines just been cancelled due to a shortage of vaccines so now I'm waiting for a call back from my Dads care home to see if I'll still be classed as up to date on vaccinations and allowed to visit.

Just wondering if there genuinely is a national shortage as my doctor claims or if they've fucked up somehow.

Nope

Didn't even have the 3rd one

Caught Covid boxing day last year and other than being a bit tired I wouldn't have known I had it.

Like to think with 2 jabs and an infection my immunity should be decent enough

ajsccfc · Sep 14, 2022

Your immunity should be decent but it will wane so I wouldn't rule out the idea completely, we're heading towards it joining the winter flu jab in the standard medical checklist kind of thing

Yep.....it'll become a standard offering alongside (or possibly integrated into) the flu jab.....

.......although since Omicron became dominant, covid is actually far less dangerous than a dose of old fashioned flu.

Sick Boy · Sep 14, 2022

I’m considering getting a dose of the updated vaccine if I’m offered it but no idea when that’d be.

But not seasonal like old fashioned flu so in some respects more dangerous as you can easily catch it any time of the year. We’ll definitely be offered annual jab’s. The danger is complacency, when we have a spike in cases and the NHS starts feeling the strain the dynamics has changed and most of the people ending up in hospital are the unvaccinated.

ajsccfc · Sep 14, 2022

Covid coming about has got me into the habit of having the flu jab where I'd never bothered before so that's something, plus we get it free at work so little bonus there. If they can do a 2 for 1 each year even better

Mine was supposed to be both at the same time, one in each arm, so presumably in future years when they actually remember to order the vaccines that will be the plan.

I haven’t had the booster but I’ve had Covid 4 times. First 3 wiped me out, last one was a walk in the park. Won’t be bothering to have a booster either.

JAM See · Sep 17, 2022

The GLW had her Omicron booster yesterday.

It's wiped her out.

Got back from the uk on Tuesday and in airport had a scratchy throat and you guessed it covid + , 3 days later my gf also has tested +.

Get well soon, i've just got over it myself.

LastGarrison · Oct 29, 2022

The Missus has currently got it.

Second time of her having it and really knocks her sideways.

I was feeling a bit rough the week before but still cracked on so think I probably have it her.

baldy · Oct 29, 2022

Why’s this even a thread anymore? If you get it you get it - may as well do updates everytime one of us sneezes

Never had it, don't know anyone who's had it. And will stay that way I have no doubt

I've finally got it. Absolutely wasted me first 2 weeks. Still not right.

Wasted me for 2 weeks too. Wasn’t even that ill really. Had a couple of days oh headache, high temperature and aches. No cough, sore throat or breathing problems (I have asthma so was worried about breathing) but then for 2 weeks I had no strength whatsoever, even walking up the stairs was a chore.
