Re: Covid Vacs
Spreading fast mate but no worries, not so effective as other variants.
Children from 5 up will begin to get it next month.
But think about the people of WA where JS lives.
The Emperor there has declared the border will not open until bout mid February and if you live there but are out of the state locked down somewhere and not vaccinated you will not be allowed back in???
Some 5 million not done in UK and that it appears is the reason numbers are so high.
National figures here in Oz show about 91% fully done, will get to about 97% with all the kids done.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Covid Vacs
In the USA, where else you may ask, a man has been given a modified Pigs heart.
Story is there was no suitable human one.
Not the fisr0s time it has been tried but the others all were failures.
You could say they were a bit disgruntled.

Re: Covid Vacs
Here in UK Ihad my last (3rd ,Booster) back in November 2021,so am now awaiting my 4th,Booster ,any time soon.They are doing the 75 +,at the moment,and I presume cappy is in that age group and that's why he has been jabbed.Plus of course anyone of any age who is classed as vulnerable.Meanwhile they are getting on with jabbing teens and tots now with either their first or second jabs.
It's an awful lot of jabs in total they give out isn't it?
I am 70,so it will be soon perhaps for my no.4.I will be ready for the call.

Re: Covid Vacs
2nd Boosters available here as well now, but no need for me or the Wife to get it, as they say only really necessary if your immune System is bad. But you can get it if over 65 if wanted so??
We are going for the Annual Flu Shots though on Friday the 13th Eeeek! LOL
I feel Lucky! LOL

Re: Covid Vacs
I went to see the Dr. the other day for further prescriptions and complain about a finger twice it’s size and painful , he shrugs and says it’s arthritis and gives me pills and says take only for 7 days otherwise they will affect your blood pressure , which also take pills for. So to make some meaning of going to the doctors I reminded him I must be due a flu shot which he looked up and agreed with . So I did manage to get a sense of accomplishment from my visit.Seems when you get passed a certain age a lot of complaints are put down as such... Age. Cheers JS
