I think anyone over 12 can get it here (Pfizer) but I don't get the school disruption argument they make. Schools disrupted because of the rules the school makes not because children are off sick for weeks on end with the virus.
Not refusing the flu jab , covid jab is a no brainer if you have one .
The lady in question shouldn't have had AZ , but as I say she appears to have been jabbed early
Exactly! prob more of a risk than from covid.
Still spoiling any chance of a sensible debate with daft comments.It was probably a flippant remark but it doesn't come over in print.
Flu never got established last year with all the measures in place to fight covid. People might get complacent this year and get caught out with it but I still haven't decided myself whether to have it.
His comment you mean?
Why wouldn't you? Not criticising just wondering?
Never had it before, just coming up to the age where I'm offered it so it's not something I do routinely yet.
Read it again, he never said that. If they find his comments insensitive they will probably find yours a lot worse.
so you meant my comment, although clearly the outbreak of flippancy begun by dear old bob, how unsurprising!
Figures such as this are just meaningless drivel as it is all purely a guess, what is for sure is that if you have a weakness that means the virus might affect you very badly you are far safer having the vaccine whatever your age!
They look like the figures to me.
It's not a guess, they are based on observed reactions to covid and vaccines
As I said meaningless drivel, if you don’t want your kids to have the vaccine then fine, you are the ones who live with the consequences the very same as if you decide it’s safer for them to have it.
If young people continue to catch this virus & spread it around whether or not it infects them badly they will for certain reinfect older people at a time when their vaccines are losing their effectiveness, this will result in hospitals filling up with seriously unwell older people causing an ever increasing backlog of other people’s urgent operations, no easy answer but it does not bode well for the near future if we let this thing rumble on!
