I won’t be having mine as I had health complications after the first round but completely respect people’s choice to have it.

Re: It's Booster Time

Had three and Covid, I am fairly healthy so far, no meds or issues, I think I'll rely on existing immunity and catching covid from now on, if I need one to go on holiday though I will get one.

You are making the serious mistake that you think that you may have some immunity from previous infection or vaccinations, whereas all the evidence is that immunity from both these directions reduces over time and also that the different variations in the virus can evade previous antibodies. If everyone had your attitude then it wouldn't be long before a new more deadly variant evolved. The whole point of getting boosters is that they can be upgraded to combat the latest variants out there. It is therefore very important that everyone who can has the boosters when they are available or we will be right back at square one before you know it. You could also get seriously ill, even though you haven't in the past and even worse pass the virus on to someone else who gets seriously ill. Its all about personal responsibility and thought about protecting other people that you know or meet.

I don't think I really needed the third but did to reduce the risk of catching and spreading, unless they make it compulsary for flights and alike I'll take my chances, you do whats best for you though


I'm not against the vaccines though, everyone that wants the protection, go and get them, I am not trying to put anyone else off!

I couldn't agree more, my young 39 yr old niece died in May of covid, slim and healthy with no previous health issues. She had it badly in early 2020 (pre vaccines) and again in early May 2022, having had jabs. The post mortem spotted heart inflammation, caused by the virus. So, so sad. Also spoke to a young Dr earlier who has been off work for 12 months with long covid. It's serious, get your jabs 👍

So sorry to hear of this, which sadly mirrors the tragedies of many lives lost to this terrible scourge.
As I see it, we have a balancing act between the efficacy of new vaccines and their possible side effects (from which people have also died)
For me, the knowledge that the autumn Mod and Pf vaccines have only been tested at present on eight mice (but not on humans) definitely affects my decision about whether to accept the offer of the new vaccine.
