Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

LindsD - hopefully he can have the booster.

UD - I'm thinking that it may be treated like flu (which as far as I'm aware isn't on the WHO emergency list) so a smaller group may be given boosters... (speaking as someone who is now immunosuppressed)

I had my Spring booster on Tuesday afternoon and had a pretty severe reaction to it yesterday afternoon, though I'd been fine with all the others, apart from sore arm.
Flu type symptoms - chills, shivers etc. It was a glorious day yesterday but I had PJs, hoodie and under the duvet and was still shivering. OH fed me paracetamol at regular intervals and told me this morning that I was "pretty weird" at times! Feeling fine this morning though,

The nurse did warn me I might have reaction this time even if I hadn't before as they are always tweaking the vaccines as they gather more information about current variants.

I’ve now had a standard letter invitation for a booster if I’m over 75 or immunosuppressed. I’m not either so seems a bit of a waste of resources

Not surprising but I hadn't seen the flu jab news previously either, now extended to covid jabs:

mirror.co.uk

(No longer being given to all over-50s this winter as they were for the last couple of years.)

If available for a modest fee I'll probably pay for it like I was with flu anyway prior to the last few years.
