So I believe. Being an old crumbly, I don't have to worry about qualifying. I have a 'flu jab booked for the 23rd but don't know whether they are planning to do covid boosters at the same time.

I think you need to be on active treatment, not just asprin, with watch and wait.

I’m in my 40s and got a text yesterday from my GP surgery inviting me for a joint Covid jab (my 6th) and flu jab appointment in a couple of weeks’ time.

The risk of getting blood clots after getting a Covid vaccine is far too great for me to even consider getting a Covid shot.

I do understand it’s a personal thing

Yep, available from next week. NHS contacted me directly to book an appointment.
