Does anyone know if the over 80s are due a 5th covid jab now ? Some people, including extremely highly vunerable people havn't been able to get their 4th yet.
I've looked online and phoned 2 local doctors surgerys with mixed answers and am hoping the wonderful world of Fab can inform me  |

"It seems strange though that some CEV people havn't been able to get their 4th yet.
I think it's very much a lottery. "
Yes Fridays jackpot wasn't 16 million quid but a covid booster jab of your choice once a month for the rest of your life. |

I think I'll pass on that thanks, i'm no longer able to have the jabs, had 3 but skipping the rest. |

I think there's a lottery element involved in it. I was jabbed on Thursday under clinically vulnerable, but I haven't been classed as clinically vulnerable before.
I'm just grateful to be eligible. |

It's worth having, as our immunity wanes and, currently, infection levels are rising quite rapidly. Immunity will take a couple of weeks + to rebuild, so there's a time lag, before you'll get the strongest protection.  |

We do yes. Not all illnesses are the same. Some illnesses benefit from treatment. |

I thought we were living with this one now...even as someone who has been vaccinated and wore masks, I am back to normal.
I am however aware that some viruses DO get more severe as they mutate. I am also aware that covid mutations occured at an alarming rate and there was always a reasonable chance that covid would mutate into something much worse. The measles virus has barely changed since the 1950s.
Plenty of reasons to be more aware of covid...

I walked into a car park yesterday and got a flu jab... Or at least that's what they told me it was. On reflection, how very strange our health care has become.
We used to be able to see Dr's and nurses... Now hi Viz car park attendants. |

Bearing in mind that I am in my early 80s and have not had Covid I am of the opinion that the vaccines are successful and will continue to take them whenever they are offered. My life, My choice. |

I've not had mine, but I'll likely get them when I'm older (the same way I'll get a flu jab when I'm older, I'm only 41 ffs)
The people saying 'don't get it' I don't understand, if people want it, get it. I don't give a shit, and I've no issue with my taxes going towards it
My only issue was always the shrieking of the people who demanded I get it. They can go fuck themselves with a cactus |

I know people who have had covid a similar number of times. Hardly an effective immune system...
And that's the problem. Measles either by infection or vaccine gives immunity but immune system and vaccines struggle with transmission of covid.
However, the vaccine does help to prevent serious illness and death. Obviously, the elderly are more at risk hence boosters. But, the boosters are safe so shouldn't really be an issue ..

it’s just the same as the other expect calling a booster means they don’t have to explain that it only lasts around 10 weeks same as the definition of a vaccine had to be changed to class this as a vaccine |

I guess you didn't notice the differential impact on hospitals and care homes, between Covid and common colds, for example? As a species, we are more vulnerable to certain viruses, than others. Hence efforts invested to eradicate some of them. You'll likely have had some vaccines whilst younger, where some of them also prevented infections taking hold nationally. More recently, measles was kept at bay here and elsewhere, via herd immunity. The fraud of Andrew Wakefield pressured enough people to reduce vaccine takeup, so herd immunity potential was broken. We've since had outbreaks here, as well as in other places with high vaccine avoidance.
Governments take different approaches, depending on the impacts of illnesses, sometimes upon the economy. There's little point in treating everything at the same level of priority. |

The CDC removed the word "immunity" from the definition of a vaccine, and replaced it with "protection". |
