Are they still happening? :shrug: last time I had one was November 22…..
Had mine with my flu jab a few weeks ago
Over 65's and those in high risks groups should have had them.
My missus, in neither group, has received a letter inviting her to have her jab in early January. Had mine with my flu jab back in November.Quote:

I haven't had one jab, i thought the vaccines were rushed through with a focus on opening the economy ahead of how safe the jabs actually were
Had my latest covid jab a couple of weeks ago.
They asked if I'd had a flu jab - I haven't, never had one in my life before.
Since Covid arrived in 2020 I've had it once (with a bit of a snuffle for 24-48 hours) and I've not had a cold, a sneeze or a sore throat or anything else cold related since.
To me it's like the vaccine has cured the common cold.
My arm doesn't have hurt after the covid jab
Daily Vitamin C, Vitamin D, & Zinc, not had Covid, cold or flu since it all started. was poorly in the 1st or 2nd week when it started.
My mum had her latest jab around 6 weeks ago. She currently has covid which she has caught during her stay in hospital!
Mine did too, but only after the first or second. Latest one didn't hurt at all.Quote:

My aunty's daughter was one of those anti vax nutters
She caught covid and was in hospital for three weeks , a week on assisted breathing
She's first in the line now for a jab
I don't have any sympathy for smart arses who play to the crowd and then get covid and use up the nhs , no sympathy at all
I have had pneumonia it was shocking , I was totally off my head and thought the nurses were trying to poison meQuote:

The general consensus that if you get covid and it gets hold of you it can be as bad as pneumonia
That's reason enough to take the jab , I never want to go through that again , 10 days of hell in hospital
Every time it's a throbberQuote:

her arm is just dead, cant lift it at all
Over 65s this time. 50+ (and members of their household) will only get one if they're in a vulnerable group. Had mine (I'm 55) last month.Quote:

It’s a bit weird I guess as doing it by Christmas when lots of people mix might lessen the chances of hospitals getting busy in January.Quote:

My 90 year old mum had it this time last year and she didn’t even know until they tested here on release from llandough…..
The doctor on the TV this morning saying the current flu going around is alot worse than covid at the minuteQuote:

Had all my jabs and booster jab a couple of months back.
Guess I'm going to be eating my Christmas dinner upstairs in isolation.
So how exactly has the Covid booster helped if at all?
Humbug!
Maybe being so rough without you’d be in hospital?Quote:

The Covid jab doesn't necessarily stop you getting the virus but without it your mother would be much more likely to be seriously ill. She was obviously already in hospital for another issue not related to Covid but I would take comfort from the fact that she has the extra protection of the vaccine.Quote:

Incurably so, it seems :xmashehe:Quote:
