Covid jab now?

Has anyone in UK heard when we will get our next 6th covid jab. I’ve messaged my GP surgery but had no response. Our friend in France says they are being done there. As I’m classed as vulnerable I will be happy when have it, even if have side effects, don’t usually last.

I haven't heard anything. They seem to be acting as if covid has gone away.

No idea Jean. Our son who lives with us has covid. He’s not had the latest booster as never got called to have it. It’s scary but we’re ok so far. Xxxx❤️

h hope your son recovers well and doesnt pass it on to you both but having this doesnt give immunity - just lessens the effect if covid is caught.

.Don't wait to be called . Go to a walk- in station and ask. Take nhs details and number and then afterwards let local surgery know details of the vaccine given.

I have had many vaccines over my working life as I worked with i varying infectious materials, and this was accepted as condition of employment( but not compulsory.) so i accept vaccines if necessary .and I have not waited to be called but gone to walk-in station armed with nhs details , and then gave the details to doctor at local surgery.

I will do just that when the next session starts.

They are rolling it out in April. Care homes first, then over 75’s and those with compromised immunity. I can’t find anything about anyone else.

starting in april but when ? in apri?i will know when they start as i live the vacc staion and the car park is opposite so get to see all the demand. with long queus of people . i wait tii fewer cars then walk across the road and go in. it is a walk- in one so no problenm booking and no need to phone gp surgery until done to give details. . i have had 6 now .but couldnt get flu jab and eventually a surgery about 15 miles away phoned me and arraanged that . they were sending nurses out to all the patients who hadnt been done in quite a l arge area. . very good .

Campaign start and end date: Visits to care homes should be planned to begin Monday 3 April 2023 and the spring 2023 COVID-19 booster campaign should be planned to formally commence on Monday 17 April 2023 and end on Friday 30 June 2023. In line with JCVI advice the offer of booster vaccinations will cease outside campaigns.

sassy59 in reply to TG58

Everyone who is able to be vaccinated should be in my opinion but obviously not everyone will agree. We need to be protecting all but covid will quite possibly be milder in younger people. We need to just weigh up the pros and cons.

bluepettals2 in reply to Alberta56

Alberta56 sorry i disagree with that, young people men in particular have been dropping down dead with myocarditas, sportsmen and otherwise thru that jab, it doesnt stop the spread it doesnt stop you getting it and vaxxed people also spread it. youngpeople have a life to live, why should they have to suffer with adverse affects for the duration of their lives. leave them alone, we all have natural killer cells and t cells and b memory cells phagocytes to gobble up the baddies, we all have to be responsible for ourselves.leave the kids alone.

Superzob profile image
Superzob in reply to bluepettals2

There still seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about vaccines and immunity, even after 3 years of pandemic! All vertebrates have both innate and adaptive immune systems. In most children, the innate immune system is very effective (which is why they tend to get very high temperatures when ill, although that can be counter-productive in extreme cases); their adaptive immune system is largely useless because they have not been exposed to many pathogens.

In contrast, adults rely mainly on their adaptive immune systems, which "remember" previous infections and quickly produce antibodies in response; their innate immune systems deteriorate and don't respond as vigorously as children's. SARS-COV-2 (COVID 19) was a novel coronavirus to which very few people (including children) would have natural immunity, and no adult adaptive immune system would have recognised. However, vaccines are designed to prompt the adaptive immune system in response to a COVID infection, thereby providing a shortcut to the otherwise slower innate immune response; this is more important with adults, particularly those whose innate immune response might have been compromised by age or other vulnerability.

The decision to vaccinate children seems to have resulted from a decision to protect vulnerable adults from the spread of COVID through contact with children, particularly with early variants which had mortality rates of 1%, and this was only done after the effects of vaccination on older populations was known; there was also concern that later variants may present an even greater risk to the vulnerable, though that now appears to be less of a concern with Omicron. The NHS came very close to being overwhelmed (hence the Nightingale hospitals), and that seems to have had a knock-on effect on the treatment of other, potentially fatal diseases.

As vaccine rollout has progressed, it seems that the risk of death from the Wuhan strain was 1000 times the risk from the vaccine, though it is now about a fifth of that with Omicron. Also, since the risk/benefit ratio is significantly weighted according to age, it seems sensible to restrict vaccination to those who would benefit most and be less likely to have an adverse reaction (most likely caused by the better innate immune systems of the younger population), which appears to be the current thinking. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, and mistakes have no doubt been made, but I believe it would have been irresponsible not to have "pulled out all the stops" when faced with a pandemic of this nature.

Some people in care homes are already getting them. Then it’s health workers, then the over-75s and the very vulnerable. Then I believe there’s yet another jab to be offered in Autumn. You should leave a gap of at least 3months between jabs.

Tykelady profile image
Tykelady in reply to eleanordigby

I would think the very vulnerable, unless they are housebound, would need to be earlier as they are more like to be younger and mingling more.

Ive had a text from my surgery inviting me to make appointment for booster. Rita has too, as my partner. So had a friend with copd in London. It seems very uneven which is so unfair.

eleanordigby in reply to O2Trees

Well, at least it’s started. I suppose some health trusts are more organised than others. There seem to be quite a few people who think another jab is OTT & aren’t going to have it. I’m immunosuppressed so only have a limited response to vaccines. Therefore, I’ll take whatever’s offered to me 😊

I'm afraid I won't be having any more, despite the fact I'm vulnerable with Bronchiectasis and Asthma, I had 3 and after the 3rd I got some bad side effects with pain in my chest and left side, I'm honestly not sure about it all at the moment, because having 3 jabs in the the space of a few months never felt right with me, and the more I hear about the lies from the government around the covid period, causes me grave concern, particularly the Hancock lies, and I'm fairly sure the worst is yet to come. I've had covid, which turned to long covid for months, and probably still got it, so I will take my chances, as I know these lying vile politicians, couldn't care less about me, one way or the other !

TG58 you are not the first person to say this, the evidence of adverse affectes is now really frightening, VITD3 is vital for lung protection and i would have liposomal vitc as well, the story of the new zealand farmer years ago on life support due to swineflu, doctors wanted to switch off hi slife support but his 3 strapping sons were having none of it, the mans lungs were just white out,

the boys got legal help if i remember rightly and the doctors had to give the farmer IV vitc, he moved slightly and the doctors withdrew the vit c so the sons took in altrient vit c and dosed they dad up, he recovered and was back flying his plane, there is altrient vitc and zookie, check the framer out on you tube. cant say i blame you not having another jab.

bluepettals2 in reply to TG58

i questioned this from day one, i am no denier either i have had it 2x but since i got really really ill 12 years ago, with NO help, i was not going back there! so i wouldnt have it, we have got natural killer cells and b memeory cells and t cells and phagocytes etc to gobble up crap, if people were to research properly first then decide if they want it instead of believing all they hear, - my question was this, we were all isolating by fear of being arrested!

but certain mps were meeting for dinners and traveling,- if it was so bad , how come they didnt worry? perhaps the virus said : hey ministers, you are all exempt!???

when people were allowed to go out in the pub, but the curfew was 10pm?

did the virus say: listen up boozers, i wont attack you if you leave by 10pm but if you are still here at ONE MINUTE after 10- i will pounce on you!

when people were allowed in cafes etc-

YOU MUST wear a mask!

why?

well to protect people as it is in saliva, BUT how do we eat then?

oh, you take the mask off!

so, if the mask comes off, and we eat, doesnt that spread saliva?

well probably but it wont attack you.

why?

because you are eating not talking,

so when i stop eating then, do i have to wear the mask in between mouthfuls? get the picture? we have all been had! Thanks to matt hancok whats app!.

Correct. Each time getting different vaccine. AstraZeneca,and Pfizer I had no problem with but Moderna caused me to be unwell. It has to stop and we have to live our life . We were locked in for 2yrs. Time we will never get back.

I dont wear a mask when I go out and see very few wearing them now. Its not normal not seeing peoples faces .

There are other viruses around us but we just have to accept this. The Smallpox scare in the late 50's only one vaccination. xxSheila 💕👍

bluepuddy profile image
bluepuddy

You will know now that it will be from April onwards. Re: people saying they might not have it, the reason to have it would be that the last vaccine will be losing its immunity and will have lost a lot of its effectiveness by then. Hopefully future vaccines are becoming more and more effective. My husband will be in hospital then and I’m wondering whether he will have it there. Our Moderna vaccine didn’t have any side effects last time, luckily.

eleanordigby profile image
eleanordigby in reply to CDPO16

Exactly. I understand those who’ve had a particularly bad reaction will want to avoid it, but if too many do that it leaves those with low immunity, or cannot for some reason have the vaccine, in peril. Also I don’t get those who say “it seems too many to me” or “I think they’re too close together”. Well it’s the scientists at JCVI recommending this so we should respect their views, not go by the feelings of laymen, who let’s face it know nothing in comparison

TG58 in reply to bluepettals2

Yes it seems the government pick and choose who they want, to fit there agendas, and never mind about the real science, as I have said previously, their will be plenty more to come, after the Hancock revelations, I believe his were just the tip of the iceberg, I am in no way a covid denier, as I've had it, but I believe we have been conned to a great extent. What is more worrying is no one will be held accountable, I mean why is Hancock still walking around, at the very least he should be locked up for questioning, but as with all politicians, he will no doubt get away with it !

bluepettals2 profile image
bluepettals2 in reply to TG58

TG58 we have to believe that these things will all be exposed, it needs to be out there-- Mp andrew bridgen has been shut down for speakingup and he has info,

if you googke him on video, he isnt allowed to speak anywhere else, and hope more people start doing their own resaerch,

proper resaerch and then find out who funds that resaerch, that tells volumnes.... i,e the lancet was the most respected medical journal but not now, it is funded by a certain someone, bmj speaks their mind, good for them, and i would rather trust the bmj than the lancet these days,

however the researching needs to go deep. i questioned all this from day one- we were told to stay isolated, but the early days, mps would be traveling and meeting for dinners, - if it was soooo contagious and so bad WHY were they all mixing?

did the virus say, hey!---i wont jump on to certain ministers?

and the pubs? did the virus say, hey boozers--- i will attack anyone who is sitting down and not standing-- remember that? you can enter the cafes and pubs but dont sit- also did the virus say- hey--i will attack you if you are still in the pub at one minute after 10.30 closing time, if you are all gone by 10.30 i wont attack you!, as if one minute makes any difference!

when people were allowed to eat out, you MUST wear a mask,

but when you eat, you can take it off!- for heavens sake need i say more? i am no covid denier either, i have had it 2 times, i am not great with health but i refused to have it as i didnt want to make myself worse, i know some people are vulnerable but does that jab makes one more vulnerable,?

Hi Morriston10,

It looks like it's all due to start in April. See england.nhs.uk/long-read/pr... which talks about a booster for over 75s so you should hear something next month.

No mention of vulnerable folks other than immunosuppressive conditions, but I suspect the numbers will start to go up as people's immunity drops so, I for one as a 54 Yr old with chronic lung condition will continue to naturally self isolate.

I how you get your jab soon x

@ no one is anti vax, we have all had old fashioned vaccinations, the problem with these covid jabs is the mRNA, there are numerous specialists who have reported their findings, just a few here DR azeem Malhotra, Dr Peter mc Cullough, Prof Angus Dalgliesh, dr mike yeardon, he was the former Chief scientific adviser for pfizer, DrRobert Malone. people do need to do proper resaerch, not yahoo or nhs guidlines, resaerch the money invested and the winners and losers in this. just be aware . And as for Matt hancok and co, his whats app conversations now all leaked thank goodness,' quote: to an other minister- : when shall we say we have anew varient, that will scare the pants of people and their behaviour will change' wake up people. its allout there.

I find it amazing that people are talking about the 6th jab, it seems to me like it's becoming normal medication, 6 jabs in 2 years, when will it stop, this can't be good for our natural immune systems, 3 jabs within less than a year 😩😩

Not quite true. They have two categories. Deaths by covid and deaths with covid on the death certificate but not as cause of death. Just be aware of what you read and believe.

ok we’ll agree to disagree but sorry you lost a dear friend. I do know that our daughter has a bad reaction to the vaccine so she may not want another one. Everyone has their opinion on vaccines and covid and that’s fine.

Enjoy your day. I’m looking after Pete and hoping he doesn’t get too sick with covid. Waiting for the antivirals tomorrow or Wednesday. Feeling a bit drained myself but we’ll get through.

 sassy59 make sure you take vit d3 and vit c, these normal supplements can help, i am assuming pete is your husband and has been jabbed and now is sick? if antivirals were given out in the first place a lot of people wouldnt have been so ill, that is why we have a naturally functionally immune system. wish him well. p.s powdered mustard in a foot bath with hot water, 2 oor 3 tablespoons, may help chest.

Thank you we take vitamin D and will invest in vitamin C too. Yes Pete is my husband who has COPD among other health issues. We’re both fully vaccinated but our son, also vaccinated, tested positive on Friday.

Take care and stay safe and well. Xxx

one thing I don't understand about the vaccine is that due to my wife's condition, she has to have the jab. but I don't get called in. since I had my 3rd one about May 2022

My feelings about this is "What if I was to go out and find myself around many people without masks on and come talking to me? What would happen to my wife if I go home and not realise that I have caught it.

I don't want it, and REALLY do not hang about with people who may catch it off someone within that group. I would be beside myself if that happened. Yes, my wife is poorly, and I love her absolutely loads.

Any advice anyone?

Thanks in advance

You’re such a romantic 💘 But it’s lovely, and I get it, of course you don’t want to pass it onto your wife. In your shoes, I’d go with her to her next jab, explain the situation and ask if you can have another one, to protect her. I can’t see why that would be a problem, as it’s so long since your last one. In fact one member the other day said her partner is offered one for that very reason.
