I've been back running about 10 days but today was the first run that didn't feel like I was running through treacle.

Yeah I’m disappointed to see that level of price gouging when flu is only about 12 quid. It’s not like it costs a lot to make. |

£98 ouch. I'm eligible for the NHS flu jab but not Covid. I would consider paying for Covid jab. |

flu vaccine has gone up to £20 here, but 5 times the price for covid vaccine seems steep

Not sure if I'll be offered the COVID vac this year. I expect I might, as I was last year. In other news I've now had a Shingles jab, and felt quite under the weather for the first 24 hours. Still have a bit of a cough five weeks after a virus which I don't believe was COVID as husband did test and was negative. |

@forest plodder - the details are here england.nhs.uk The groups to be offered a COVID-19 vaccine in autumn/winter 2024/25 are: - residents in a care home for older adults - all adults aged 65 years and over - persons aged 6 months to 64 years in a clinical risk group, as defined in tables 3 and 4 of the COVID-19 chapter of the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) Green Book on immunisation against infectious disease Timing: Flu vaccinations for pregnant women, and all children’s flu cohorts, will commence from Sunday 1 September 2024. The main flu and COVID-19 vaccination campaign will commence on Thursday 3 October 2024. Vaccination of all COVID-19 cohorts will start on 3 October at the same time as all other adult flu cohorts, as set out in the flu letter. An October start date reflects JCVI advice that the flu vaccine’s effectiveness can wane over time in adults and so a later start date is preferable. |
