Will you be getting a private covid vaccination?

Interesting how things have moved on... my 85 year old aunt refused.... caught it once... is fine. She has been organic since 1956 and lives on a hill in Gloucestershire... Will probably live for another ten years.

organic chemistry ;-)

Managed to get a Novavax vaccine today, for £55, which is quite a price difference from the pfizer.

I assume I’ll get offered one in Autumn as a NHS worker. If not I would pay. I’m fed up with every COVID-like infection throwing up weird symptoms afterwards and feeling like it’s Russian Roulette to the time I get something that’s unfixable and completely disabling.

NHS has been pretty good for me, I think I had 4 covid jabs so far, the last with a flue jab toward winter last year.

I haven't come across anyone at work with covid for a long time now, it seems to perhaps have burnt itself out and touch wood I seem to have avoided getting it thus far.

Long may it continue.

If anyone wants the cheaper Novavax vaccine, the pharmadoctor network seems to be the main way to get it atm: Pharmadoctor, providing clinical services at your local pharmacy

I have previously been on the danger list, but the doctor told me not to bother this time. The rules on the first post here seem to suggest just being over 50 with a weakened immune system isn't enough anymore, or am I reading that wrong.

If you have a weakened immune system you can still get an nhs one (see post 8). If you don't have any medical conditions it is aged over 75 for a free nhs one though. However anyone can now get a private one but expensive (i'm not doing it).

they wanted to know whether I'm on steroid tablets to demonstrate weakened immune system and apparently the tablets have to be a certain strength to qualify.

All I needed to do was present this card to prove I'm eligible to receive the vaccine for free.

I got a free covid vaccine shot 6 weeks ago, my 8th dose so far.

I was getting my vaccinations up to date prior to going onto Rituximab treatment, which is gonna kill the B cells part of my immune system which respond to vaccines, hence better to get some extra protection while I still could.
