Covid booster

[anotherbanana]

Vaccination campaign has been brought forward to early October, so keep alert folks. Must be spreading faster than thought.

Had my 6th one 3 weeks ago, but it was already due in the usual 6 monthly cycle .. so I'm  sorted this time, happily.  They do seem to do them throughout the year for those in the protected groupings.

Yes, our favourite pharmacien does them at the drop of a hat if you are eligible.  I am leaving mine till perhaps just after the anti_grippal one.

Judith, I suspect that, like me, you have seen enough of needles to last you till the end of time?

Yes, indeed, Menthe, but the Covid and the flu jabs are nothing much really in the wider scheme of things.  I shall get the flu jab when I get the paperwork for it ..  I did do them together once, but decided 2 arms out of commission for a couple of days together was not a good idea, but as it happens, since then, the two timings have not coincided.

I've had 6 covid vaccinations and last time had covid and flue at the same time. I've just had a letter from the health people reminding me that I'm now entitled to both again.
