Covid vaccine for under 75

It strikes me that the reason the covid jab is not being pushed for the under 75s and is available at a significant cost to those who do want it is the government's knowledge that so many mistakes have been made in the past with this particular 'jab' which as said by others, is not a vaccine but gene therapy which is something very different and that can and does affect some people vey negatively and in varying ways. What is kept quiet is the large number of people taking legal action against the covid jab manufacturers because of illness of death directly related to being injected with this genetic modification. These people are receiving compensation. Obviously, therefore, the government is safeguarding itself in restricting the jab and in not making it compulsory for travel or care workers. If it isn't responsible for doling it out, it isn't culpable when the compensation claims come in.

I come from Trump's Magamerica, where lies and hypocrisy flourish. Please, this retired RN is imploring all the Grands who read this: join me in geting a Covid vaccine!!!!!!!! And a flu shot. Your lives may depend on it? Are there any charities there to help those who over-rely on the NHS?

Eh? Post is about Covid vaccine and you are not eligble till over 75...are you talking about shingles vaccine?

I’m 68, I’ve had pneumonia twice in the last 9 months but no Covid vaccine for me. My daughter is immunocompromised and will get it so I asked as I spend a lot of time with her whether that qualified me. But apparently family members of the immunocompromised are also excluded this year. I think it’s a very shortsighted policy.

OMG are you serious???? is there a single person in here stupid and naive enough to even think about taking that corrupt poison? from day one i refused to have it refused to wear a mask "anywhere" because i knew it was a con job to manipulate us i was refused entry in shops but most of them turned a blind eye when i wasnt masked up dr faucci is an evil man

Got your tinfoil hat ready, pet, to stave off the effects of 5G and whatever mind-control chemicals are being 'seeded' from contrails? There's always one, isn't there? Yawn.

Hi, I made a post about the shingles vaccine (not covid)!
My friend is 75, she had the covid vaccine- no problem!
(I don’t want that either)!

PaynesGrey. Thank you for the info. I was led through lockdown and the rest pandemic by the scientists and will continue to do so. I will not listen to old wives and scaremongers. So if they advice 75+ so be it

I felt lucky to be offered the Covid jab with my flu jab last week at a well known pharmacy chain. I was told I qualified as I’d be 75 before 1/4/26, but later, I read that the cut off date is actually 1/1/26, so I didn’t really qualify.

DD1 is still recovering from a particularly bad bout of Covid, so having read a recent thread, I was quite prepared to pay for a jab.

I think the cut off date is actually the end of January for those coming up to 75. My husband (75 on Jan 22nd) was given a Covid shot last week along with the flu one. I'm a year older so also qualified for both.

Calling people stupid and naive is a sure fire way to win them round to your way of thinking.

That’s sarcasm btw, just in case you weren’t sure.

Hi Lindy i am 71 and i really can't understand the reasoning of not being allowed to have my Covid jab unless people are immune suppressant or such.

My DH is 72 & has heart disease. He was told he would be entitled to both the flu & Covid jabs. I am 73 & was told I am oǹly entitled to the flu jab. At our appointment my DH was refused the Covid jab, saying he wasn't eligible!! I questioned why all 65-74's aren't entitled (as last year) & was told we've reached 'herd immunity', complete rubbish!! It is all down to this Government's cut backs. Still, as long as Starmer, Reeves & Co get their free jabs the rest of us will either have to pay up, or shut up. Disgraceful!!

DH and I being 69 and 70 don't qualify for the NHS Covid jab this year so we decided to try private ones. Nothing was available at Boots or Superdrug so in the end we went to a pharmacy in a village about 30 mins away. The cost was £100 each. Apparently, there's a new version of the Pfizer vaccine and it's hard to get hold of.

I’ve been offered one at 69. Wild horses wouldn’t drag me to get one. Nor the flu jab. When I regularly had flu jab I had asthma and every cold going. My immune system now works properly and I’m not messing with it.

And here is the usual idiocy.

QuotePaynesGrey the actual cost of the vaccine to the NHS is £25. I looked it up.

When the Covid vaccine was being offered to the majority, many people (some here on GN) declared they wouldn’t be having it, they had already had 6……etc etc.

Now it’s being restricted, there is a huge outcry.

Everyone wants it.

🤔

Not really, it's just the usual loudmouths boasting about their insanely wonderful immune systems. This JCVI decision has upset many of the quieter people who have health conditions or are carers and are not being offered it. I am one, I have moderate to sever COPD with an estimated lung age of 85 according to the last spirometry and I am 67. I have had every vaccine offered and I will ow have to pay nearly £100 for a private one. I wonder how much I would cost if I ended up in hospital with respiratory distress? It seems to me to be a very short sighted decision and indicates how much this government cares about us.

Both my husband (85) and I (80) have both had the flu vaccination and covid booster this week at our GP surgery
So glad to know that we are covered.

It’s just under £100 at Boots. At least we can now have one every six months if we’re prepared to pay for it.

You can pay for it at Boots.

I am disabled and also have asthma I am nearly 67 and I have been refused the COVID Could someone please tell me how much it costs at the chemist

I am 70 and considered to have weak immunity due to cancer and chemotherapy. Our surgery did flu and Covid jabs at the same time. My sister ,a year younger was really cross as she and her husband paid nearly £100 each for jabs and he's older than me with heart problems.
Most NHS stuff is of course money driven and based on likely outcomes.
I may not have a suppressed immune system now as nobody tests it but probability says its likely.
I paid to have a knee arthroscopy earlier this year as could not even get seen on the NHS and still not brilliant.
Last year NHS were so behind with cancer check ups I paid to see a specialist to be told the cancer was back and I had the operation and chemotherapy before my hospital would schedule my check up!
So the NHS is a complete mess and often a postcode lottery with a lot of luck involved.
The staff work really hard but unless people pay a lot more tax or compulsory insurance the current system cannot cope.

I want an anti Covid jab .
I might be able to have one at a local chemist.
My asthma is no longer under control and I often travel by bus .
The viruses that I had over the last two years have made me really unwell.
I just can't risk another infection .

One would like to think that ‘experts’ would make a recommendation to Government based not on cost but medical risk. That said, it is interesting that the UK seems to have a policy divergence from both France and Canada when it comes to offering a Covid jab to the under 75s.

For example - France: ‘Vaccination against Covid-19 is recommended every year in the fall for people aged 65 and over. Anyone who wants to be vaccinated, even if they are not part of the target, can receive a dose of vaccine.

The vaccine can be administered by doctors, nurses, pharmacists (for these 2 health professionals, the patient must be over 5 years old), midwives, medical or pharmacy students (under the supervision of a practicum supervisor).

Covid-19 vaccines are supported in 100% by the Health Insurance.’

Health insurers are not known for paying for something that doesn’t benefit their financial bottom lines.

Thank you, Auntie...........Auntie Vaxxer

It's obviously a money-saving decision. The money saved is greater than the economic cost of lost lives and lost economic activity. That's my opinion. The boosters should be made available to all free of charge.
