I've just been invited to make an appointment at the surgery to have my Old Lady Flu Jab in September. Got to look after us oldies and make sure we don't clog up the NHS in the winter! No mention of a Covid booster, is that all over and done with now?

I’d heard there are no Covid or flu jabs being given out to the under 65s this year.

I have had a txt saying when the flu jab date is. I am 53 but my medical history means I am on the hit list plus I would be on the hit list for work.

No mention of Covid booster

Good news for the all clears and I hope the results for Linds are clear too and there's no letter about the speeding.

Dunno - they got me in each arm last year for pneumonia and Covid but nothing since. Mr is overdue for his shingles jab but our local GP surgery is stalling - maybe they don't have supplies yet? (Some of the very vulnerable people I know have been getting Covid boosters recently.)

Flu jabs are back to being offered for over 65s and children. Covid vaccinations for over 65s. Other vulnerable groups included and carers/health care professionals, but no longer on offer for all over 50s.
It was announced the other day by NHS England
